[bug] I searched for WindowBlind skins by MikeB314. Then once I got to that page, I filtered by Master skins. When I applied that filter, the skins being displayed were for all skins--Master skin or not; and for all galleries.
[Request]Need the ability to right click on download link and choose save target as, for I can save the download without having to install right away.
[REQUEST] New - Poplular tab on front page - couild you add recently updated tab?
[BUG] Once logged in, when loading a new page the browser hangs for a few seconds then carries on loading. Happens in IE 8 and Chrome Win 7 32 Ultimate
[Request]
Below "Explore All" can we have an option for "recently Updated" so we can view only the skins that have been updated.
Is it possible to have a "Explore my list" where users can select their own galleries eg. Wallpapers, Windowblinds, Icon Packages, Dreams and Sidebar gadgets only. So if we don't use log ons or winamp we dont have to wade through those skins.
well well, you guy really call my attention with this mayor update., really nice job!
[Bug] Clicking on "Forums" takes me to forums on the new site the first time it is clicked but once there, clicking it again takes me to the old site. It does this if I've gone to a post and want to return to Recent Posts or just looked through the recent posts list and re-click it.
[Question] What sort of software do I need to download to run Wallpapers? (Explore Tab/Featured Galleries/Wallpapers.)
On the plus side, the new WC loads much faster for me in a side-by-side comparison to the "old" site. Even pages with a lot of content such as Articles are loaded very quickly. IE8 w/ broadband connection.
this points to a deeper issue with filtering I think, I'm looking into it now. Also I'm looking at the date issue on explore all, like I said before there are a bunch of issues we are working through on the database side with the 'all galleries' view so bear with us (and thanks for the reports!)
For those interested in knowing, the bug where some users were not showing up a "More From This Author" sidebox on the detail page of a skin made by them is resolved. Also a bug where the quick sort drop down menu at the top of the explore/browse gallery top bar would dissapear after switching to a different page should be resolved. More updates as they come.
They updated the mayor!!!????
Still not seeing this. And not seeing other skins by me on the right side preview.
hmm you are correct, apparently the change fixed some but not others... back on this
edit/update: OK! Got it for reals this time. Let me know if it still isn't working for anyone!
Sorry to say I am getting a mixed reaction in the WindowBlinds gallery, some skins are showing "more by this author" & some are showing "featured skins", I have been through several pages & it seems that the more well known authors have their skins & the not so well known have "featured skins". This is probably coincidence, I am not finding fault.
ok this should be fixed now. if anyone is still seeing bizzare dates let me know (make sure to refresh the page)
hmmm, I will look through and see if I'm having this issue as well, you may need to refresh the page to see the changes? If its still happening if you could get me the names of some of the skins that are having the issue that would be great.
edit: nevermind I found some with the problem... looks like something funky/some special case that is throwing things off... working on it now
edit/update!: OK its fixed! This time for sure!!!! Right? *crosses fingers* still not working for anyone/anywhere?

It seems to be fixed now, I can't find anyone where this does not show up.
Working well for me now, Kestral, thanks
[bug] clicking a link in an article (i.e. a skin mentioned in "This Week in Skinning - January 22nd") opens the skin up in the old site instead of the new one.
Doubt that will happen...I've been asking for that for years. And I really don't see this happening now with this new site. But one can hope I guess.
[Bug] Favorite-ing a skin results in _two_ error pages.
YES! This would be sooooo helpful!
[Bug] I was in ObjectDock skins when set to 9 per page it only show the next 2 skins (the first 2 move out and the last to are new)
when set to 18 per page the first 3 move out and the last 3 come in
when clicking on the next pager
this should be when set to 9 per page on page 1 and clicking to go to page to they all should be 9 more skins NOT 2
and the same for if you have it set to 18 per page page 2 should show 18 different skins not 3
Not sure what browser your using...but I've always been able to do that in Firefox & IE. Just click on download and choose to either install it or save it somewhere.
[Request] Do you want to allow this webpapage to access your Clipboard?
If you allow this, the webpages can access the Clipboard and read information that you've cut or copied recently.
PLEASE remove this!! It's Obviously I (WE) want to or I (WE) would not have done it. Right?
this is the only web site I know of that dose this..
you would have to do an awfull lot of accidentals
[EXAMPLE]
You read a comment and then you accidentally Clicked and held down your mouse button then you accidentally dragged your Mouse to the left or right and made it accidentally Hightlight the text, then you accidentally put your cursor over the accidentally Highlighted text, then you accidentally right click on it, then you accidentally moved your mouse over the word COPY, then you accidentally clicked on that word copy, then you accidentally scrolled to the Comment Box, then you accidentally Right clicked in the Comment box, then you accidentally Looked for the word PASTE, then you accidentally clicked on the word paste, THAT WOULD BE AN AWFUL LOT OF ACCIDENTALLY'S.
But at lest you let us do it with IE at lest add this to Fire Fox\
and WE all know it is not IE or FF that is doing this SO why is WC doing this?
