From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Now with progress bars and timers!
Published on April 2, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Ever since we launched Dream.WinCustomize.com earlier this year, we've been working on improvements to our upload system to handle large file sizes.  In the past, users would just have clicked the submit button, waited and hoped it all worked.  There was no display of upload progress, and for users with exceptionally large files to upload, often the browser would timeout.  Well, we've made some steps to alleviate those problems.  Now, there is an upload script in testing that shows a progress bar indicating how much of the file has been uploaded, the current transfer speed, as well as a time-left and time-elapsed counter.  Improved error messages have also been added to help troubleshoot upload issues.

Net Dev is really close to signing off on the new upload script as "done" and have it be the main method people use to upload content, but before that happens, we need a week or two of heavy testing/usage to make sure we catch and iron out all the kinks.  That's where you come in.

For the next few weeks, when you find yourself looking to upload something to the galleries, please use this link:

Trying to update description on some skins, progress bar appears and runs, upload complete and processing dialog appears but then it just returns to upload page pre revisions.
Same result in both FF 2.0.0.3 and IE7.

Hey Dean, there may be a bug in resetting update date, I have just updated a couple OD backgrounds for the second and third time. Reset update date has been checked but skins are going back under old date. Maybe it is not showing properly as an update for the mods.?
FF 2.0.0.3, have not tried using IE7.

Update; have just updated them again for third and fourth time as they went back under old date. Used IE7 this time to see if reset date not taking is a FF thing. Or the mod feels updating to use new coding for OD 1.9 is not worthy of date reset.

Cavan1... thanks for the heads up on the reset date bug.  I'm planning to look into that issue tonight, Monday morning the latest.  I hope to have a fix out sometime next week.  I'll post on here when I have it fixed.

Thanks!
