It would be great if the Wallpapers were also organised, as others have said, BY SIZE .. Pretty Please .. I use 1440x900 ..  

Personally, I prefer 1680x1050 as that's how I have my screen resolution set. But WinCustomize has next to nil for that resolution whereas Interfacelift has tons of wallpapers in that size.

I understand what you are saying Philly0381.However it still smacks of elitism to me and I know the staff have been challenged on it before. And I stand by my statement that the only result from this is that Wincustomize and its users lose due to the manner the wallpapers are managed and that it deters artists from uploading. It would be in Wincustomizes best interest for all concerned to change their procedure so it is more in line with other sites. It really does not bother me if I do not upload here nor if no-one ends up uploading here. I simply do not view their process as productive or encouraging.

There's one thing missing from your comments on rejected work "WHY",why was the work rejected i'm not interested in hearing why you think it was rejected just why the mod decided it was not to go up,well if i did some work that was refused i'd sure wanna know why then i'd also find out what the standard is coz it sure sounds like it was'nt up to it.

xscorpx......I agree with you entirely. On one occassion the mod replied to me the work was not good enough in his eyes. All the images had been uploaded on Skinbase at one point and ALL had recieved favourable download figures. I even sent a zip file of the images to Nikos(adni18) as he could not understand why my work was rejected. He saw the images as being of acceptable quality. I have submitted images here that have been featured works and they too have been rejected. I am happy for anyone here to go and look at my gallery at Renderosity.com. My work is favourably accepted there. It is the only site I patronise now.This is not new for Wincustomize. It has been a problem for a long time and I know others have had the same problem. The end result has been that these artists like me have ceased bothering to upload here.People cannot be bothered taking time to put together a zip file and then uploading it to get it rejected. That is just a total waste of time and effort. I do know those who continue uploading and accept the attrition rate. I am also aware some artists can upload anything and it gets accepted. Depends on who you are and whether you are with the elusive "IN" crowd. I am not in the business of needing to impress, I care little about ego and I certainly have no intention of kneeling before anyone. It would just be nice to upload here like anywhere else. It is no big drama for me. I just do not understand the site keeping such a negative method in operation. As for standard....I see none really. You can go through the wallpaper galleries here and see the inconsistencies. It speaks for itself. There are some very capable artists here but there are also some that simply hit a swirl button and call it a wallpaper and it passes to the main page....it simply makes no sense at all.

This site changed its wallpaper policy a long time ago - shows how out of touch you are   The only rejections now are due to copyright infringement and items which are obviously too poor to grace any site. Some wallpapers which are not quite up to the standard of the main gallery go to personal pages where they can still be viewed and downloaded.

There has never been an 'in' crowd as you put it. Anyone showing favour to one artist over another would very quickly be shown the door.

If you want to continue this debate, why not start a new thread? This thread was supposed to be for people to post links to their favourite wallpaper sites

I am aware of what you are saying Fuzzy and I am aware that,as you say, those not quite up to standard go to the personal page,which is still a rejection of sorts. I beg to differ with you on the "in" crowd as favouritism is definitely shown as to who goes to the main page and whose work goes to their personal page. I can also say it has nothing to do with standard. I also suggest you are wrong about starting a fresh thread as Zoomba was saying he wanted to see Wincustomize draw back wallpaper uploaders and increase the selection here. I am simply giving my input. If you are not happy with what I am saying I can only share my experience here honestly.I do understand though that you do not want it discussed so I shall leave it as it is and bid you good wishes Fuzzy....enjoy yourselves!  ....I am sorry you are not open.

I think you are twisting things a little. Perhaps you should upload something? The more people upload wallpapers the better the gallery will be   

I was suggesting a new thread if you wanted to discuss wallpaper moderation - all subjects are open for discussion here and welcome   

Since Wincustomize.com DOES have a moderation process...and others [such as Deviantart.com] do not....it's entirely logical that a person's works are not rejected elsewhere whereas they may do so here.

Not all wallpaper submissions have 'considerable time' spent...several even claim 'I was bored - mucking around - threw this together - etc'.

Any 'quality drop' perceived is due to relaxation of the moderation process ...to be MORE inline with those 'other' sites.... which may just say a lot for both ends of the moderation debate.

Regarding wallpapers and their gallery/modration there's been some thoughts kicked around as to how to vary/improve the methodology.

Perhaps WC2K8 ....

 

DA a lot, www.skins.be and last but certainly not least:

www.dragonfly.sytes.net

Fuzzy, I am not twisting things. I would not say it was like it if it was not. As I said, I can only give you my experience. I am not the only one either. And Jafo.....good to see and hear from you! And yes, I understand what you are saying. I also still think things can be improved if what is in place is hindering this sites progress. That really is all I am saying. From what Zoomba was saying at the start it is this sites wish to improve things and I would certainly agree and support that intent.  

Okay Fuzzy, I have given it some thought and I will accept your challenge and start uploading again on a trial basis. You could do me a favour if you would. Can you change the age on my page to 53......it currently states I am 23( I wish). I noticed I have been a member here since 2001.......a lot has changed in that time including my hairline....LOL  

I've always liked webshots. They got all different kinds of wallpapers.

We don't have access to people's personal information, only you can do that. The only place I can see to change age is on the Personal Page, Settings, Stardock Account, that has a date of birth field   

Okay Fuzzy I will try that...thanks. Tried uploading but nothing appears to be happening. I have followed the procedure meticulously. I will wait and see and try again later.  

I have tried uploading twice now and I follow the instruction and at stage two when I hit submit the upload monitor with the guage does not appear as it used to and it just appears to load via the window status bar. It does not proceed to the window which used to say the upload had been successful nor have I had a notification to say it has been okayed. Has all this process changed over the last couple of months?  

The new upload page is on the right of the main page and is called 'Submit to gallery'. If that doesn't work the old page is available here LINK

Yep, quality and all sized walls very easy to choose   

I used the old page you gave the link to successfully Fuzzy. The New page does not want to play.....as JackDirt would have said at deviantART....rectal gnomes are lurking! Thanks for your help...uploaded two.  ......and just as a plug...Renderosity.com has a wealth of talented artists who upload fantastic wallpapers daily. It rivals deviantART in size but offers far more in the way of resources and information. Big free download area. Worthy of a look by any artist.

Ok, I see your walls now - I like them, especially the Copper one, I'll be using that   

I'll check out Renderosity, I'm always on the lookout for good walls.
