Wincustomize Beta Feedback

Published on December 28, 2009 By karmat In WinCustomize Site Issues

Nice to see the new website! Looking good, but I hope since it's a beta that suggestions will be considered... 1) Could you make the link "Submit Beta Feedback' in the top left corner of the homepage link to something other than the Forum homepage - maybe to a sticky post. 2) Can the amount of skins showing on one page in a gallery be larger than 18? Way too much clicking! Minimum could be at least 20, with choices of 50 and 100 (please!!!). 3) I noticed the feature of a description popup when you hover over a thumbnail is no longer there. Could that be brought back, otherwise you have to click and go to the page to find out more details? 4) To see a larger preview opens another tab like before. I thought I read it would be something like the way DA or Customize.org does a preview? 5) When someone provides links in their description accompanying their upload, on the old website it would show up with an icon and 'link'. Now the whole link is shown. Can it be changed to the shorter version? 6) I didn't see the 'Subscriber Resources' listed anywhere. I really like the larger thumbnails! So, please don't jump all over me, these are suggestions and comments, NOT COMPLAINTS! All in all, I appreciate the amount of time and talent it takes to revamp a site and hope that it can be tweaked to everybody's satisfaction. <br>

Update.....

The new site is not officially beta yet, so it appears I've jumped the gun with my suggestions. <br>

Feel free to use this post to mention what you'd like to see for the new site, or anything else for that matter.

Where you want to put a line break you put

Looks like it may not work in the forums now since it should'nt have been visible when Philly posted it.

It is the only way to get line breaks in skin comments.

When the beta is officially ready, there will be places for feedback to be given.

If you are looking for the Gallery Libraries click on Explore, it will show you some of the most popular. If you go down towards the bottom of the the page it will list other, just click on the one you are looking for.

Take a little time, do some navigating of the beta site, you will more than likely find what you are looking for.

Ah. 'Click' on explore. Duh...lol! Thanks Philly.

I haven't been around here all the long, I think this will be the third WC site update for me.

It just takes a little time to find where things are, that's why clicking on things is like finding a new toy to play with.

Thanks, I understand now. <br>

But I don't remember it being like this before, just the last little while.

My point was that Navigation should be intuitive.

I do respect however, the point that it is perhaps a very incomplete Beta site.

*Edit - I found the Winstep gallery. I don't really understand why you have to click on Explore...that is counter-intuitive when there is a mouse over drop-down. The galleries should all appear on the drop-down.

Um, it's not ready yet, so feedback is kinda wasted

I did notice the top skinners all time/yesterday/last 30 days is all mixed up...

Not having any knowledge of how and what it takes to set up a site myself I suppose I'm just less criticle when it comes to how you get to the information versus that the informatiion is there.

I also look at the beta and expect it to be different from previous versions of the site. Change has really never bothered me much, it's what makes life interesting.

I like it. The previews are great. WIll wait to see what more is done with the personal pages. I also just realized my sub has expired so I don't get to see it without the ads and stuff.

Little harder on the eyes since it's lighter than the current site, but looks nice.
