Is it just me or are preview images on new/updated skins not showing on the new site?
Nope....not just you.
[Bug] The 'New' section on the home page and the 'All skins' section sorted by 'last updated' only shows brand-new skins, not ones which were updated
[Bug] Upon loading the new wincustomize home page my anti-virus (Kaspersky) popped up saying that the site was trying to upload a trojan to my computer and kicked me off the site. It took two attempts before I was able to see the home page and log on.
[bug]
Using Firefox (latest) the ads are blocked, but no thumbs of the gallery (names, but no thumbs), nor of the skins when clicked on.
Using Opera 10.10, bug still present.
WOW! That was fast! [bug] above RESOLVED.
[Bug] Screenshots on updated skins show old screenshot (see Mica WindowBlind)
reposted as unanswered
[questions] I know that some of this may have been discussed but....
clicking on my moniker and clicking on "my site" comes up with the same page, and this only shows the most nine recent skins with no direct access to the others from there.
typing in gmc2 in the search in the combo box on brings up "gmc2" skins and not the others that were made under AKA "wimpy". (should I resubmit the others lol)
how do I change my personal information in the new settings.
where is "my skins"? I use this to monitor comments for the submission.
I am unfamiliar with this issue... so you know, this is not something we put in the site. This only happens for you in firefox? Other people who may be having this issue, is it also only in firefox? I have never seen this happen, I have a feeling it might be a firefox plugin with some bizzare functionality in it or perhaps one of the plugins we are using is throwing that up because of however your security settings are saved in FF.
If we can get more conclusive data about why this is happening I will try to fix this, so you know that is NOT intended behavior.

In IE for WB it open it and loads it right in to WB the old site WC you could at lest right click an save link asbut if it is in a zip then you would not have to do that it would give you the opption to save just WB out of a zip
the problem here is probably something in the settings of your browser or your OS, you probably have "automatically open known file types" chosen as an option. I'm not sure off the top of my head how to reset this but Gizmos is right, the default behavior when you click a download button should be to popup the promt to save or open.
edit: oops kept reading and see this was resolved.... as a note this is generally why IE is more susceptible to attacks
thanks for the catch, this is due to the software naming being changed recently... its on the list to fix now
I am not having any problems with it... And I love the ease of which you can move for page to page. Great job everyone.
I've been getting that for ages on the old forums. I use IE8 and yes,it is annoying. If I want to copy and paste any text from within the forums, I get this pemissions prompt. No other site I can think of does this.
RND reports the same thing.
check out this link I found: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/09/25/disable-allow-this-webpage-to-access-your-clipboard-pop-up-warning-message-in-ie7/
I think this is a browser based problem, I don't know why its showing up only here for you instead of on all sites but if you change that setting hopefully that will fix the issue(that was for IE7, I'm sure changing the setting is a similar thing in other browsers but you may have to look them up seperately).
You just earned your weeks pay. That fixes it for IE8,nice find.
Thank You!!!
[Bug] Not only are screenshots on updated skins incorrect, it's also not using the updated skin file. This is not good
[Request] Could the recent posts on the home page show the last poster?
I'll look into where we could put that info...
I'm not sure 100% what you mean by this, if you can go into the steps you go through to have the incorrect issue in there I will look into it. Is it just that when you update info its not picking up the update?
Also of note, I changed the front page to have number of comments on each articles/post on the lists. Also added a link to view more in the same category (redirects to forums) and increased the number of skins/skinners in the side lists from 5 to 10. Finally I removed the hovering menus on the explore menu filters, they are now click to expand and click to collapse.
I think that's all that worth mentioning for now, more updates as they come.
Look at Mica on the old site. The download is 1.4 MB, the screenshot is up-to-date. Look at Mica on the new site- the screenshot is from 2007 and the file is also old- 400 K.
[Request] Include the most recent updated date for master skin registrations on the registrations page (so we can easily see if a new version is available for download).
Kestral...Are you going to fix the gallery issue of broken previews as shown in the screenshot in this thread https://forums.wincustomize.com/374086/page/2/#replies in replies #32 & #35 ? That would be great rather than me having to change my font just for the beta site.
this is now on the list
I just saw your screen shot, I have some other bugs to look at first then I will look for a fix for this once I have taken care of those.
New site is looking great and loads very quickly.
There has been mention of this and would like to throw out a suggestion not a problem. With the Recent Forum Posts on the old site it list 10. I like this number as keeping 10 active is a good number. On the new site we only get 5 active. Under the last post you have a "View More" link and it takes you to the Forum. I think it my be better served for the Community if you click on the View More link it list #6 thru #10 of the recent post. There is already a link to the Forum at the top of the page and with ease you could actually add a forum link under the view More link if you want an additional forum link.
I understand you have other things to fix that are not working correctly. However I believe the people really like the quick access of the Recent Forum Posts. Thank You.
