hominesnocturna, it's best to keep replies to someone in the same thread, people always check bakc so they won't miss it and it saves 'clutterning' the main board... It also means people will know what you;'re talking about!

Reply to What determines when a skin gets "featured" in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Blimey. I dunno about anybody else, but having a skin that's more than 24hours old acan be a real breath of fresh air.
