Excellent comment Hus, what I wanted to say somehow but you said it perfect..there is no animosity, just a feeling that some time and effort should be put into the ports to feel proud that you uploaded a good quality skin and didn't just "point and click". I ported a total of 1 VS because I figured out how to do it with SKS and I liked the skin. You and a few others told me how unfinished it was, I had no idea what I was doing, but when I was told, I f
Hey, one of my Screenshots has 9 comments and it shows 0, Administration, please correct this or my day will be ruined
I probably shouldn't even go here, but this "just trying to give something to the community" thing sounds very hollow and a means to self-promotion and high downloads with not much regard for true quality or talent, and to what end? Just wondering if I'm seeing thing all wrong..
Who is doing the trashing? Their stuff is trashed??? What did I miss? I might comment on a "Poor me, the world is against me" attitude, but I sure haven't seen people "trashing" others stuff....I do see a lot of "trashing" of the so called "unfair elitism" of WC tho...
I just luv a good story of the "little guys" fighting against the evil owners of capitalistic companies, taking away their "rights". Beats the hell out of watching soaps by a mile...We want fair and we want it now....life revolves around us sigh...........
It disappeared by itself, was there for about 20 minutes, but gone now, thx Jafo
A banner ad is showing up at the top of my pages where it never was before...Just a glitch I hope? Anyone else?
There has been a lot of upgrading and system glitches concerning alot of people and their status and access level and it is being worked on, check some of the other threads here in the forums..if you feel you are not given your correct access levels, email administration but I would suggest waiting it out a few days...They know of the problems and are working on it...good luck <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

Angel, I'm a customer 5 and have always been a citizen, don't really expect anything else, I bought ObjectDock and a subscription here, luv the programs and this place, enjoy making screenshots and showing off the talents of others, and I'm making a few friends and learning how to start skinning a few things....Don't really know what's required to move past citizen or really care, I'm just having a great time and puttin' my 2 cents of nonsense in here
Damn Cygnus, I just luv it when u talk purty too sensible to have any wicked evil fun
Certainly does and sadly, true too often...
how can anyone rate a skin if they themselves don't know how to create one? Well, I don't know how to create one yet, but I certainly have downloaded and used pretty much every WB and tons of Visual styles plus rainys and everything else here and other places, and it becomes pretty obvious if i skin is well made, regardless of if I personally like the look of it. Sure, tons of people can't tell, they go for the looks and flash of
Fuzzy and Roman, that seems to me to be the absolute best way to do it if it could be implemented, the drive-bys wouldn't happen because it takes too much time..I mean, gee, download it, try it, actually leave a comment and then rate it...hell, you could only do a few of those in an hour, pretty hard to get to be "#1 Skin Commenter" or "#1 Skin Rater", which seems to be important to some as much as they protest that they don't care about ratings <img s
@ Jafo, well said!
it's been that way for a couple of days now crissy, skins and personal pages may show no comments when there are indeed comments...I'm sure it's something they're working on
I've seen comments such as "Great job" in response to someone asking a "question" about their screenshot,or the same "Great shot" or "Good job" or whatever over and over, screenshot after screenshot, same comment....and in libraries all over the site....on stuff over a year old....seems like an easy way to get #1 in "Skinshot Comments" or in rating skins....for whatever that might be worth..."Great job" on a screenie of a wall, taskbar and rainy??? Oh
Exactly the point computerdummy and kona, how can you possibly rate something fairly without trying it....if you're just rating it on looks....as in a sharp looking WB in a screenshot that is made like chit..things don't work, can't read fonts because of size or color, but you rate it high because of the screenie, that is just wrong...or rate something very low because you don't happen to like the look of it in the screenshot, but it is in fact very ni
Guess that's why I been at the top of the first page in Screenshots for the last day Damn, I wanna see some new stuff
Great article Essencay, please keep em coming, I'm new to much of this and it's great not to just port an MSStyle, but to start learning the ins and outs of SKS and skinning in general...Thanx much, very informative
And the beat goes on
I just luv it when Tiggz gets technical The guy knows everything
Excellent perspective, SS...a SKS port and upload is a disservice to the author and the community here..although there are lots of people who just like the surface look and don't really care about the functionality. There are plenty of MSStyles out there that look great in a screenshot and are garbage when you actually try to use them
Welcome cl, good to have ya here...and I'll take the dog over the cat anytime....
