uploading boot skins

You need to read your e-mails. This was sent to you:

Dear KiLlAxKeV92288,

Thank you for your recent upload of your Nissan Skyline for BootSkins
Unfortunately your upload has not met our guidelines and has been rejected for the following reason:

Both the skin and preview uploads have failed. Please try uploading again.


Sincerely,
The WinCustomize Staff

 

but i dont understand?? they work fine with me.. what could the problem be

The upload failed... i.e. there was nothing at this end to download...

hmm idk what is making it do that.. i put the file sin correct..

i make the preview .jpg and my skin .bootskin ??

Dude . . there may have been a problem with the SERVERS, not your skin. 

Try to upload the same files again. 

i have.. i have done it about 4-5 times and it keeps getting rejected.. im gonna try it again right now

im having the same problem.. and i also wrote to the win support and they said they couldnt do anything and that i should write in the forums

I'm not having any problems Uploading BootSkins not sure how you do it.

I load the BootSkin into BootSkin program then use export from the file menu to make the BootSkin file then upload that file always works ok.

Have you tried using different browser to uplaod I use FF.

try this link to upload your files, when i have trouble with the main one, i use this and it always works.

KiLlAxKeV92288 ....you do have one bootskin that uploaded OK.... and 3 that did not, and none of those has a preview image showing.

You will need to rename the files [so it is a genuine new upload and not an overwrite of the existing]...eg...

Rename the skin 'Airsoft' to 'Airsoft2'

Change the bootskin file name from 'airsoft.bootskin'  to 'Airsoft2.bootskin' and upload

Name the preview jpeg something clever like 'Airsoft2preview.jpg' [you know it makes sense] and upload.

Preview will be a 'full size' [640x480] jpg, and the Bootskin file is a simple zip archive including the 'bootskin.ini', the background bitmap [bmp] and the progress bitmap [bmp] [these images sharing the identical 4bit/16-colour palette] - the zip archive suffix [zip] can be manually renamed to 'bootskin'...eg. Airsoft.zip becomes Airsoft.bootskin.

If bootskin uploads did work for you once there is no reason they won't keep working...unless you have 'changed' something in your methodology...;)

thanx all i will try it again tomarrow .. i am gonna go to sleep and when i wake up i will give it another try .. thanx again i will let u guys know what happens

With us on the receiving end I trust we will know soon enough anyway...;)

ok im uploading them right now i changed the names and lets c what happenes

woohoo they worked i stopped makin bootskins for that reason but now im gonna make soem more thanx for all ur help
