What the hell is going on with WB skins?

Is it me or are people suddenly uploading any old crap? I've been through the latest WB uploads to do a proper assessment of each and more than half of them are unfinished or have major errors. And now the latest one has nothing in it - how is any Joe Bloggs downloading that supposed to use it?

Come on people, get your act together. Take a bit more care over what you upload for goodness sake >

No errors that are apparent without user(fixed spelling error) ripping it open in SkinStudio and going over every detail with a fine-toothed comb.


Pretty much means what it says ....those great skins like Christmas Time that have, like you said, 70+ errors aren't readily apparent using the skin, doesn't make them any less great, but those non-critical errors should be cleaned up to improve performance, because the skin is asking WB to apply attributes that don't exist.

they used to use a dye in the public pools here which turned bright orange when interacting with urine. But people got ticked and said it was not PC so they stopped.

Personally it only took one visit after they started using it for me, and then I refused to get in thte water...

mmmm, that could be applied to submitting skins also I assume

the fear of not being good enough or something...


I share the same feeling...Part of the reason it takes me months to finish a WB.

Skinning for me isnt just about having fun, but also about making something that other people will like and use...If they dont, then it wasnt worth my time...Which is precious.

Then again, some people measure 'what's good enough' internally, and not according to what others think.

Which can be a higher goal to achieve.

I don't really make them for anyone. To me it is a challenge to see if I can make this thing in my head come out and look like something special. Sure, its nice when others like it and use it. But, I'm still pretty much disappointed with most of my work. It is due to my lack of graphic skills. Honesty hurts sometimes but maybe with a little more time and effort it will improve by my next skin. I have ideas, and if I can make them work, it should be an improvement. Heck, I've done updates on all my skins, but I haven't had time to upload them.
