Forum Update v1.6 in Forum Issues WinCustomize Forums

Version v1.6 of the forums was recently published. The wincustomize and stardock forums were finally moved over to them today, and were the last two forum sites to be moved.

Reply to HUGE avatars! in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

The Wincustomize and Stardock forums are getting the bump after Labor Day, as are JoeUser and the Impulse Community.

Every day I spend a little time (aka. lunch) and tinker around with side projects or questions that I've raised to myself while browsing the net, or thinking about ideas for the apps I would like to write, that I have already written, or that I wrote and sent to the graveyard. Lately I've been toying with Html Parsing and came upon something I've not yet dealt with much with web development: css selectors. Css selectors are a really neat method of selecting nodes/elements in an html document

'Site Issues' Moderation Policy in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

The 'Site Issues' forum is a unique forum. We use it to get good feedback from out visitors on the website, what's not working, what the visitors may not understand or what is just plain broken.

Reply to Recent Posts.. in Forum Issues WinCustomize Forums

Le sigh. Let's set the record straight: I/Webdev dont make our priority lists public Zubaz is not an authority on what our present or future project, todo list, or priority list is. (Sorry to bash you in public, but you didnt leave me much choice) When an issue gets reported (and this one was) it immediately gets attention. We almost always investigate right away so we know what kind of time is required to resolve the issue. Also, I want to say that negati
