Links that make me curious.
How did that happen?
Tuesday, February 15, 2005 by FilkoSE | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
I'am just curious how come the skins below are associated with my homepage? No offense to any of those two authors, but I don't think it's appropriate for me to be displayed as an author (talking about the link's author ID number...) when I'm not, and most importantly, it's not fair to them. 
Could someone help me to sort this out? Thanks.

Well, actually when I change the second number in the link to anything else (4828 to 4818, etc.), it will always display a different skin, but under my homepage.
Really weird, because it may misrepresent the author....

This is by design. As a non skinner I may want to feature other people skins on my site so this allows me to do so. Also, to support our Advocacy system, I can post links to other authors skins on other websites. And since the url is bases off my personal site I would get an advocacy point for it when someone clicks on the link to view it and so would the author of the skin.
All is good here.
