WinCustomize 2K9 concepts
Friday, January 16, 2009 by Frogboy | Discussion: OS Customization
The new WinCustomize is going to be a radical departure from what we have today.
In the web 2.0 age, we can do a lot of interesting things that should greatly improve the navigation of the site. The days of clicking, waiting for the page to load, clicking, waiting for the page to load and so forth will go away.
Instead, the site will feel more akin to a desktop application. Want to see the most popular skinners, click on tab and it'll expand to show it.
The site will end up being far cleaner, far faster, and far easier to use than what we have today.

I like the screen shot, looks a liitle like WB. Comparing this to the current site presentation it looks a lot better.
I guess then that instead of this, "There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page". we would get this, There is currently no video in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page".
AND besides my persnickety attitudes regarding unnecessary video content, totally appalling and unwanted interactions, difficulties in uploading blinds, etc. What really burns me is that WB has outsourced the "insert/edit image" function to third party vendors. I can't tell how many times I've wanted to upload a picture of the problem or even a possible solution for someone elses difficulty and the process entails something like this.
1. create a jpg. 2. goto the flicker (or someother) site. 3. create an account (pure BS). 4. upload the jpg. 5. copy the tag. 6. go back to the WC site (what was the question again?) 7. click on "insert/edit image" button. 8. paste the tag. 9 click OK and, oh wait, 10. enable third party cookies. (is there also flash lurking here in the background?). 11. do steps 7 through 9 again and 12. disable third party cookies. Understand why I don't inset pictures with my questions now???
there has to be some way to do this easier. I just clicked on the "insert/edit image" button and what I have is some white square with no content (great) (oh, now it just timed out into a null page and won't go away). I recognize that the ability to upload a picture without moderation could be abused by some but a picture is worth a thousand words. consideration would be appreciated.

Yeah, notice I said seperate section, so there would be no loading/waiting unless you opted to go to that section
<-- As long as he's still on the page, I'm ok with it.

Me thinks all this banter is mainly moot. I think the decisions have been made and the format is basically done.IMHO.

Not SD's style, if past is prologue. 
Should be great in any event. Looking forward to it.

Forgive me if anyone mentioned this aready, chose to jump straigh to the end to ask. Would this concept for WC be considered for the JU website as well? I mean, I know there is no downloading on that site but the tab concept sounds great.

please, dear Lord... 
or.. Brad.. as the case may be.. bring back 'last post read' function.
Having to constantly click last page and then scroll down to the bottom should be unheard of on todays forums.

Works fine here.
I totally agree. This is the only site I know of that uses that terminology and it's totally confusing.

Yep Bebi, I remember back at Invisionize, and.. well.. every other forum I've been to, and run, it really is confusing

Hasnt worked for me since it stopped working months and months ago... anyone else?
Doesn't matter what thread I open.. always always... page 1. Of course in the main forum u can click last post.. but that only takes u to the last post..not the last one u read. 
and I usually navigate from the Recent Activity list anyway... page 1 everytime.
