"This Just In "
Wednesday, September 7, 2005 by Fairyy~ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This makes no sense to me at all. Why are screen shots being listed as " This Just In "
6 out of 10 in the " Just in " are Screen shots..if you click on " more " out of the list of 25 items..14 are screen shots.
Seems odd that I can find several newly uploaded items that only were added to Galleries this am...yet they dont even appear in the " just in " list of 25 items. Some of the screen shots listed in the " just in are from yesterday ..I saw them before.
A lot of people just pop up to WC to check the " just in " list. So if you spent days making a downloadable blind or item..it gets bumped out of the " just in " or never makes in there because 50% of the " just in " are screen shots. Screen shots that are not a downloadable item.
Usually I've seen comments that Screen Shots shouldnt even be rated ..they really cant be downloaded.....so my question is...is this a wise use for " this just in " items ?

Thanks Tapper, that is very nice of you to say. I have Capsulitis right now and I am limited in my time on the computer.

I have seen some where the date looks to be updated, skins with 0 downloads but update not create date. If this is a date reset by a moderator for a skin that has been sitting around awhile, only puts it at top of gallery. Updates do not show up in the This Just In lists, also do not show up as one of the 5 on the gallery page. Date should be updated as the create date so these new skins will be treated like new skins.

| Yes..and I was also told that this is an error on a moderators part. Something should not be uploaded to the site that sat in moderation for 4 days with a 4 day old date. It should be reset to the day it was in fact uploaded. |
| I've never seen a skin of mine updated to the date it was released by moderation. It always has the same 4 day old date. I didn't realize they were supposed to reset it. |

Skins should go into the library with the approved date and not the upload date. Maybe something for the site gurus to code for us

See..a simple answer. Something maybe the site programmers can code for the administrators to make their life easier...this is the easiest solution.

I agree.
In the past when this issue came up, most people that had an opinion thought this should be the way uploads were handled as well.
Glad to see an advocate among the moderators!

I think I preferred havig screenshots listed. (I'm sure this means it's being worked on as we type)

After the triple listing on the gallery and 'Just In' list, we now have the screenshots again on both list and gallery.

Maybe a moderator can post here and set the record straight, since it sounds like there may be conflicting versions of how uploads are dated.
This question has come up at least two times in the past, that I can remember, and the official word was always 'order kept at posted date, not in order of moderation'.
I've never had one reset either. I don't believe that is common practice ... not saying it hasn't been done on occasion for various reasons ... just not normal procedure.
When I say "held up in moderation for various reasons" I don't mean to imply there being any problems with the skin or moderation ... just normal wait times of up to five days ... I had one skin once that took every bit of that, if not a day or so longer, and several that took less than a day. Needless to say, the one that took five days didn't show up on the 'This Just in' list.
