I think you should show a little more respect and patience...... we ARE volunteers you know. I'm sorry if your uploads have not bee dealt with, but today was my sons birthday so I wanted to spend alittle time with him before going to work a 10 hour night shift. I hope that is O.K. with you?

Sheesh!

An Admins has to be fair to everyone - even when they're not fair to Admins.

Almost as stressful as being a football referee...

Sorry for the tittle, it's just to to draw the attention but not to be disrespectful, i'm so sorry. Lol jafo & China♥Cat, i wrote this msg when I awoke the only thing i don't understand is why a skin uploaded by another citizen 1 day ago is accepted whereas mines which been uploaded 5 days ago not :/..
sorry again for my bad morning mood and thank you all for your answer

I also have been waiting, but no complaints from me are necessary as all skins will be moderated eventually

Nounours, while it may be frustrating to see your submission 'Waiting Approval' (we can understand that), it will get dealt with. Yes, the admins are sleeping and working and eating and living normal lives. They also have, I imagine, an enormous quantity of submissions every day. Not to mention, monitoring the message board and other behind the scenes activities.

There are 3 particular 'galleries' which are moderated on similar lines, mainly because all three are very similar in content....

Wallpapers

Logons

Bootskins.

The latter two are often exactly nothing more than a wallpaper sized/reduced to suit....often not a wall belonging to the uploader.

Logons are actually more than one wallpaper....there are other images to skin and other adjustments/choices to be made from the default XP look.  When it's nothing more than a straight wall stuck in as image 100, and nothing else is addressed it's very likely to get the boot.

Bootskins are themselves a simple, single image, or two if you include the progress bar.

Ones without start looking all-wall-no-skin.

It is definitely NOT rocket science to reduce an image to 640x480 and 16 colours.  If that's it, AND the image has suffered badly from colour reduction then again the boot-skin will likely be boot-ed.

It's painfully obvious that any and every image bigger than 640, and quite a lot smaller could be 'converted' to be a bootskin and the Gallery would be inundated with any number of 'XP this' and 'XP that', and heaven knows how many would actually have accompanying permissions from the wall/image artist to do so.

As I stated on mine [it was a test]...it took longer to reboot to look at my handywork than it took to create it and set it as 'active'.  [I know they are 'quick and easy']....

So...

Let's try to make our submissions actually be deserving of being placed in these categories and not just because they have the appropriate file suffix...

And we'd like you to get permission from Mormegil for using his Christmas WB skin gfx, and DuoPixels for their Doublets icons in the ObjectBar theme, before Christmas.
