Hello everyone!

Welcome to the WC 2010 Beta.  We are excited to be getting near the release of the new WinCustomize, but we still have many things to be worked out, and your help in finding issues and other feedback will be appreciated.  Remember, this is a beta and problems can be expected.

You can access the beta site at:

www.wincustomizetest.com

This forum will serve as the place to give your feedback whether it's a site issue, or general feedback about the site.  To make this organized and efficient, there are a few guidelines to follow in this area.

Tag posts with the titles.  Example: [Bug] Page Not Working

[Bug] Use this if you find a site bug.

[Feature] Obviously, if you want to give feedback on a specific feature.

[Request] If you are requesting something.

[Question] If you have a general question not pertaining to other tags.

If your post is something other than those examples, just tag the post appropriately so we can view them with some type of order.

The forums are not part of this beta, with the possible exception of a new theme.  Feedback for the forums doesn't need to be posted here.  If you run across a forum issue, please use the existing thread here.

Thanks for your help!

-Spencer

In IE for WB it open it and loads it right in to WB the old site WC you could at lest right click an save link as

but if it is in a zip then you would not have to do that it would give you the opption to save just WB out of a zip

Again.....I don't know what browser your using but I can click on anything...meaning the download button...on the old or new site and I'm given the option to either directly install it with the appropriate software or save it to a folder of my choosing. I've never had to to right click and "save as" on anything.

 

the problem here is probably something in the settings of your browser or your OS, you probably have "automatically open known file types" chosen as an option.  I'm not sure off the top of my head how to reset this but Gizmos is right, the default behavior when you click a download button should be to popup the promt to save or open.

 

edit: oops kept reading and see this was resolved....  as a note this is generally why IE is more susceptible to attacks

[Bug] Clicking on the blue BootSkins XP link in Featured Galleries takes you to the BootSkins XP Gallery. Clicking on Download Software takes you to BootSkin Vista. These two should not be confused with each other.

thanks for the catch, this is due to the software naming being changed recently...  its on the list to fix now

I am not having any problems with it... And I love the ease of which you can move for page to page. Great job everyone.

[Request] Do you want to allow this webpapage to access your Clipboard?

I've been getting that for ages on the old forums. I use IE8 and yes,it is annoying. If I want to copy and paste any text from within the forums, I get this pemissions prompt. No other site I can think of does this.

RND reports the same thing.

Do you want to allow this webpapage to access your Clipboard?

 

check out this link I found: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/09/25/disable-allow-this-webpage-to-access-your-clipboard-pop-up-warning-message-in-ie7/

 

I think this is a browser based problem, I don't know why its showing up only here for you instead of on all sites but if you change that setting hopefully that will fix the issue(that was for IE7, I'm sure changing the setting is a similar thing in other browsers but you may have to look them up seperately).

[Bug] Not only are screenshots on updated skins incorrect, it's also not using the updated skin file.  This is not good

[Request] Could the recent posts on the home page show the last poster?

I'll look into where we could put that info...

I'm not sure 100% what you mean by this, if you can go into the steps you go through to have the incorrect issue in there I will look into it.  Is it just that when you update info its not picking up the update?

 

Also of note, I changed the front page to have number of comments on each articles/post on the lists.  Also added a link to view more in the same category (redirects to forums) and increased the number of skins/skinners in the side lists from 5 to 10.  Finally I removed the hovering menus on the explore menu filters, they are now click to expand and click to collapse. 

 

I think that's all that worth mentioning for now, more updates as they come.

Look at Mica on the old site.  The download is 1.4 MB, the screenshot is up-to-date.  Look at Mica on the new site- the screenshot is from 2007 and the file is also old- 400 K.

[Request] Include the most recent updated date for master skin registrations on the registrations page (so we can easily see if a new version is available for download).

Kestral...Are you going to fix the gallery issue of broken previews as shown in the screenshot in this thread https://forums.wincustomize.com/374086/page/2/#replies in replies #32 & #35 ? That would be great rather than me having to change my font just for the beta site.

I just saw your screen shot, I have some other bugs to look at first then I will look for a fix for this once I have taken care of those.

New site is looking great and loads very quickly.

There has been mention of this and would like to throw out a suggestion not a problem. With the Recent Forum Posts on the old site it list 10. I like this number as keeping 10 active is a good number. On the new site we only get 5 active. Under the last post you have a "View More" link and it takes you to the Forum. I think it my be better served for the Community if you click on the View More link it list #6 thru #10 of the recent post. There is already a link to the Forum at the top of the page and with ease you could actually add a forum link under the view More link if you want an additional forum link.

I understand you have other things to fix that are not working correctly. However I believe the people really like the quick access of the Recent Forum Posts. Thank You.
