When I click gallery > newest = I see 18 Screen shots out of 48 newest.

Something I had wanted on the other site when clicking on the Gallery tab was to be able to customize which galleries would show up (like we can do with the gallery nav section). It used to show the latest 5 skins or so from ALL the galleries, and out of what, 20 or something of them I only cared about maybe 5. Just thought it would be nice to customize what results we get, afterall, this is a customization site.

Hey Bichur, Im talking on front page of general galleries where only six newest are ever shown, and half the time theyre all screenshots

Its funny cause I almost started a thread about this earlier today. I was wondering why they are still in the new skin section too. It was discussed on the old site that the screen shot section would not be listed on the right side as a gallery selection because the section needed the space for newer stuff coming out with Vista etc. Then the daily shots were removed from the front page and delegated to the "Gallery" page and you have to scroll to the bottom to find it. The " Daily Shot " hasn't been changed for 8 days. Its like its been forgotten. But new screen shots get uploaded to the front page as a new skin. That just doesn't make much sense at all.

ah. and yep, 3 outta six.

3 too many

And......I click on screen shots every day - I still enjoy looking at them.

Many skinners started out making screen shots.

But it seems a bit unfair that new skins that sat in mod queue for a few days get uploaded and then get pushed aside by screen shots that get uploaded usually twice a day. Some are uploading 5 screen shots a day every day.. The week before one had 5 screen shots with same WB and wall in all 5 shots - all that was different was icon placement. Just seems unfair to those that make skins - especially a WB that takes 2 weeks to make.

i wholeheartedly agree...

hey Fairry~ you wouldn't be talkin about that Oh let's see now my memory might be a bit hAZy Dude but oh well maybe I'll think of who you're talking about if I work on it some more. Let's see I think I'll do a dozen screens on Vista Blista, Vista all over the place, Vista Blue, Vista Pink, Vista World, Vista Earth and then I'll do Vista Blista 2, Vista Blue Anew and well you get the idea. Should have them all completed in 30 mins and the only thing you'll be able to see are my screen shots.

Right now there are 3 that seem to think that quantity is better than quality.
But I was referring to someone that all 5 shots looked exactly the same - all that was changed in all 5 shots were icons. I still think no one should upload more than 1 shot a day period. Its not fair to those that put a lot of effort into their shots either.
But the fact still remains - screen shots are not skins...they dont belong on front page as " new skins "

I totally agree.

Okay it was my best guess as to who it could be, but in any case you're right screen shots shouldn't be filling the newest gallery of the front page. Even the Screen Shot of the Day (week?) is at the bottom of the gallery page. The front page being cluttered with the latest gratuitous screen shot grafitti upload cheapens the sight. Looks like the sight needs some work.

I think a filter would be the best option.

I 'll never say anything against screenshots, because I started in this category before trying anything else, and it gave me taste in skinning...but :

I agree with my friends about SS in newest section. I could make 10 shots a day if I wanted, it's not the same for a WB...


On the opposite, I think the daily shot has his place on home page.Its the only gratification for members who dont skin anything else.

Why are the WB's and Icons and DX widgets and Walls and everything here being made? For people to use them. Doesn't it make sense to show off what people are doing with this art? Doesn't it help the site? Doesn't it ultimately help the artist. To see how different people from all over the world interpret these creations and use them. I think that's valuable and I think Brad sees that too. It can only be a good thing. Skinners should be happy that people are using their creations in ways that they may not have thought of using them. Isn't this the purpose of creating all these skins? For people to use them?
