Welcome to WinCustomize 2005!

Bear with us as wel get settled in..

from JoeUser Forums

The new WinCustomize is here!

Bear with us as there will no doubt be issues that we have to work through over the next couple of weeks. But we hope you like what you see so far.

The new site is designed to be more steamlined for both new users and power users. It also has a lot more content than the previous site and provides a bunch of new ways for users to participate (with more ways to come).

Let us know what you think.  If you're running into performance issues, let us know. That's the part that's the trickiest to resolve since WC has so much traffic (millions of different users per month) that even one bug can cascade mightily.!FROGCARE!

I love the update, though it will take a while to get used to. Very polished and professional looking...just what I'd expect here. I am wondering why it seems slower, though. I'd been anxiously awaiting pages loading faster. Of course, I keep saying that one of these days I'll get a high-speed connection instead of dial-up. Stone tablets can be etched faster than pages appear for me. But I digress...Keep up the tremendous work, y'all!

I do appreciate the possibility to search through authors' library and the many sorting options I can make based on my interest.

What I miss, thanks the old system, is the option to see and search authors' library sorted by GALLERY. Maybe I missed it, but so far all the skins, from all galleries come out mixed together.

That's very disorganized and hard to see what is what. Bootskin, wallpaper, coorsors, logons? Thank you all for caring, though....

I like the clean look. I would like to see the top downloads and new releases closer to the top of the page.

This site is way better, but I am missing the RSS Feeds like in the older site. While I am here, I would like to propose a toast to the old site, and how much she was in my life and she will be sadly missed. But times move on and so must we, so I say good luck WC!

Wow, the new site moves quite a bit faster! There's a rare occasional slowdown here or there, but that's expected with a site move. Good job!

Great! I like it! Tremendous!What I have problem with is so called Cross referencing! I shall enter the address I have purchased the products from Stardock and I've used for the Wincustomize account! But I used the same for both!If I do that and enter my E-Mail address I get displayed:You must enter a different address which was used to make your purchase. Strange!I used for both the same E-mail address!

Hmm... 1) Blue/white corporate colour scheme; 2) brushed metal tabs; and 3) inconsistent styling/font usage. Whereas the old site had its own distinct feel, it looks like your average dotcom site now.

Fortunately it's much faster and seemingly has more features (which I still need to check out).

By the way, why are personal icons limited to .jpg? I'd very much like to use a .gif (because of transparency).

I really like the new Wincustomze.Much cleaner interface.One problem though is that the site doesn't support Opera.The Browse Site section at the left of the screen doesn't show properly (i can only see the last half of every line) and in my comments i can't use any tags.Please fix that.

Nice to see a much more modern 'skin' applied to this site - it did look a bit dowdy before.
Well done guys and thanks!!

Very nice job on the new Wincustomize site. Like it much more than the previous. However, how can I list more than 5 previews per page?

So far I like what I've Come across. However I hit the button "restore windows default" in my Logon Screen and I can't figure out how to restoe it back to logons instead of the "default" display. I have all of my logons I have in window showing their name, but no image will appear. I'm at my wit's end and know it must be something so trival I'll be horrified when someone tells me what to do!!!

For the most part, great performance increase. It does hang once in a while.


Does anyone have a fix for the squishing of screenshots?


I have uploaded 1280x1024 and 1280x960, both of which are shown as square.


I never had a problem at old site, so I suspect issue is here at new site.

Thanks for all the kudos, it's really appreciated.   We hope everyone enjoys the new site.  As far as anyone who has posted a problem above we will be looking into those problems today.

I like the new "silvery" look of wincustomize... but is it the only skin...

I seem to have some problems with uploading skins... i'll see if i can find a way to fix it... (i hope )

I am liking it only marginally more than the old site.

What I really don't like (and can't figure out how to remedy), is that I am now presented with the entire library contents on the left hand side, instead of just the ones I care about.

Can anyone help me out here?

?
