Its amazing at how treetog can create something so original and different from the normal but still make it feel like nothing has changed in the usability area. Great job!

I just fixed the problem with retrieving the list for the Updated Skins. The Featured skin was working here but I just did an update on the server that makes retrieving the Featured Skin list much faster.
The first way is too make sure that you do not post the same question 20 times!
Jobeleca, Any chance you had installed a previous beta of the shareware version? It may be picking up the date you original installed it and timing out based on that date.
The website (www.guiolympics.com) still exists. People can go there and download the skins still. The library is part of WinCustomize, its just hidden because the files were also merged into the WindowBlinds library.
Frogboy, I really must disagree with your interpetations of the results. First let me repost the original question and possible answers: What are your feelings about Iraq? 1: Military action is probably unavoidable, a regime change is needed to prevent Saddam from acquring weapons of mass destruction. 2: The US needs to work through the UN to reinstitute inspectoins. 3: I am hopeful that a peaceful resoltuion can be found but the US/UK needs to be
Nobody loves me anymore
Not all the time. The admins try to send everyone an email but remember they are volunteers and their time is valuable. So they may not always have the time to send you an email. Especially when there are peaks in the number of submissions.
I'm just wondering how fast WinCustomize would become if this thread were to disappear. hehehe
Since I seem to have disappeared since I posted this thread I am beginning to feel like one of those trolls who are consistently whining about the moron's running this site. But I am glad that this has sparked some good discussion on the topic. I'm really not trying to dictate any rules hear but trying to make the world a better place by trying to keep peace. Oh, and Doreen, I do have the
Yes, this has been a long standing issue and has been on my list of things to do. Unfortunately time is a key issue. Or more specifically my time. I am working on multiple projects so trying to do updates to WinCustomize is sporadic. Making these changes is not a 15 minute fix because of the way things were implemented in the beginning. There are many issues involving the speed of the site and we will address them as soon as possible. Unfortunately changing the author pages is not
I have been noticing of late that there has been quite a bit of name calling going on these days. It seems that anytime someone comes along and has a negative comment towards WinCustomize or someone else or who may have ripped a skin, a bandwagon of people tend to jump all over that person and tend to start calling them whiners, trolls, morons, etc, etc etc. I personally find this behavior very rude and offensive and am getting very sick of it. So I ask all of you to please take more
I am proud to announce that MikeB has accepted a promotion to become WinCustomize's newest Wizop! Mike has proven to a great leader in the skinning community not only with his excellent skinning abilities but also with his time and dedication that he has put forth into helping out all those who request it. Mike, we are glad to have you aboard!
"I only got a level 2 account instead of the level 3 i was expecting." The cause of this is that the email address that you attempted to cross reference against does not have a product registration associated with it. In other words, you tried the wrong email address. Try another one. (If people would only use one email address life would be so much easier)
If a user is receiving a 404 error then it is a legitimate error/bug or the server is actually way too busy to process the page. There also is code in place that if the the number of current visitors surpasses a specific number during peak times that non-paying visitors may receive periodic server busy errors in an effort to reduce the load on the website.
"I too purchased object Desktop from Stardock - but that doesn`t stop the main problem of how the hell you get anything to download off this site anymore. For the last couple of weeks, I havn`t been able to download one windowblinds skin. Not one. Pretty disappointing. " Hey my car doesn't work right. Fix it! Can you be any more vague? Maybe its your ISP?. Maybe you are having connection timeout? Maybe you have saved them to your harddrive but forgot where? Maybe
Well Jafo did just have a birthday, and with his old age he is getting a bit slower and his eyesight is not what it used to be so he could probably use all the help he can get!
ack, ack.. excuse me... hairball.
Skinbrowser is not yet tied into this. But using IE and Home and Work should produce the same results.
Ok, I did this as a rush job before I left work. Now I realize that I forgot to have it change your author name in the library. So if you have uploaded any files, I wouldn't suggest changing your name just yet. I need to work on it a bit more first.
Ok, I finally got off my lazy butt an added functionality for users to change their nickname. Just go to 'Edit Account' and click on the 'Change Your Email Address' link. You must choose a unique nickname.
Solitair was correct. I was accidently displaying the sum of the scores instead of the calculated score. Its fixed now.
Jack, SmartException has been removed from the DGM Installer. I think in 0.66B it was removed. But many of you may still have SmartException on your system. There has been updates to SmartException and the most recent version is it at http://storage.stardock.com/files/smartexception090.exe For those of you who want to remove SmartException I suggest that you install it from the link above and then uninstall it. This is probably the easiest way since it is no longer
User Levels pretty much describe your membership status on WinCustomize (https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?cmd=subscription).
