WindowBlinds downloads are always downloaded and checked.  

That is all well and good...I still like to check again to make sure. 

But, the issue of not being able to have the actual file itself is bothersome.  I like to have the actual file I downloaded so that I can have the blind on my laptop if I so choose, and to be able to re-install the blind if something goes awry with my computer.  I shouldn't have to "download" the blind twice.  I know...I could make the wba file by opening the blind in SKS and making it from there...but I shouldn't have to do that. 

This was never an issue before with the old site, and I have had IE 8 for over a year now.  I still think that we should still be able to have the option to do a "save as" like we did before.  I shouldn't have to install another browser just to be able to download blinds.

Skin comments notification still not working properly on skins page.

 

When trying to post and edit on my VXP 2010 WB thread I keep getting...

Well, I've gotten it twice anyway.

My concern isn't one of safety,I'm just lazy.

Since I dual boot,I like to dl the blind and save it to downloads and install from there and then copy it over to my Vista downloads folder. That makes it easy to install later when I boot into Vista.(I don't remember why I'd want to, lol) I then send the original wba to my external for archiving. "Save as" made that much easier.

I have no desire to use any other browser, IE8 serves me well except for those unskinned tabs. No rush, but I'd like to see it work as it did on the old site if possible.

You should really give FF a chance Wiz, more secure IMO and skins WAY better.

To amend, sometimes skin comments # works, most times, it doesn't. really needs fixed, its very important to skinners, especially those of us selling our work.

I just don't have time to check 20 + skins multiple times daily day for customer queries.

btw , everyone I know cant stand the bright blue tiled gradient on the sides of the site \ forum. Its just horrible....imho

 

Something more neutral would be a way better choice.

got the same large error posted above again today while trying to edit a post in galleries.

Quotes of an entire reply also containing a quote seems to merge the two into one block of text.  

Edit:Wouldn't you know it, I can't duplicate it now.:S

Adding an emoticon to a comment in dreams library loads all the emoticons in a 2 deep by 3 screenwidth array so as to need horizontal scroll to find required emoticon such as thumb up, MSIE8, Win 7 64bit, 1920X1080 rez. FF3 does not have the problem.

Dang....Finally!!  

I no longer get an email when a comment is made on one of my skins. Is this going to be reinstated?

I think it should be. I miss that feature.

 

Egads are way too commonplace here now, if no one has mentioned it yet.  :-"

:'(     I have looked and looked - my delima (sp?).  I had the free version of Desjscapes but this afternoon I purchased the paid version.  But I can't find where to d/l it.  Can someone please tell me>

 

thanks x_x

The "Explore - Customize" function does not work in latest Firefox browser, you cannot scroll the list fully.

Not sure if this has been solved yet -

I would like to (re)download an updated premium theme I purchased a while ago, but when I download from my registrations page, I get the old, not updated version. Specifically, I bought "Laguna" before it was updated for windows 7. I can't seem to download the updated version through the "my registrations" page.

 

I've also tried having the registrations emailed to me by stardock and they weren't updated. Laguna is probably my favorite theme, and I've been patiently waiting to download the updated theme. Please either fix this bug or provide me with a work-around solution. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks ;)

I suppose that's the next step. I guess I was just hoping the problem would eventually be caught and solved, but it might be a better idea to just talk to Tim. Thanks for the help, RND. :sun:

I'm guessing that Tim may not have reset that, or is it Stardock that would do that. Do your other skins have most recent updates? Is it only this one?

Tim may just send you the update, but that won't fix the problem...

right, and I think Laguna is the only skin I own which has been updated. All my others are relatively new......

When I attempt to view the library of nicholas scarlett, in tile view, I get redirected to the main site all new submissions inventory. I have tried several other authors, and the only one I have problems with is nicholas scarlett. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

I still have several of my Windowblind skins that are not showing a screenshot, even when I upload a new screenshot.  Is anyone still monitoring this thread?  o_O
