I haven't found any solution for the adds either Night Train.  If I clean out my browser they show up.  I have to clean out my browser if I want to rate skins.  I then like you have to login to both WC home page and again separately in the WC Forums page.  I will then have relentless ads until they seem to go away on their own.

FF3 is the worst for it.  Can't rate skins and never are all ads eliminated.

IE7 can rate skins but, only if the browser has been recently 100% purged.  Ads will show up for a few hours and then end on their own.  Yuck!   

I am unable to rate with FF3 no matter what I try.

See my post here. https://forums.wincustomize.com/?postid=325386

Don't know this to be fact but I'm thinking the minor problems we are seeing are related to updates that are going on with the forums and then browsers coming out with updates at the same time. 

I wonder if Andrew has any hair left or does he go around wearing a Baseball cap?

I asked the same question last week. Also have removed all cookies, etc. Was told that Stardock was aware of the problem and that is all I was told. No reason to log onto wincustomize and than go to the forum and have to log in again. Never had to do this before. By the way also can't change the desktop background on my site and was also advised they were aware of the issue. I totally understand with programs and computers things can change but I have been trying to change my desktop background on my site for 4 weeks. I hope you get the answer you are looking for so the rest of us can follow the instructions.

Thanks for the info... I use IE7 exclusively BTW.

- the problem is that these updates came at a price, I'm not the only one can't upload new contents (skins) to the site and I'm sure it has something to do with these updates as well.  Waiting till after GUIChamps is a long time IMHO to get a fix in place to restore the website's functionality.

upload.aspx doesn't work, neither does upload2.aspx using either ie6, ie7, ff3, chrome, etc.

If the new login is faster, it can't be by that much, I don't remember any huge latency issues when logging into the site previously before these updates.

Any chance on getting an interim basic upload page that works running on this site so that we can continue uploading skins?

Andrew thanks for the update, it may not fix the problem but getting an update on this issue as it stands does soothe the soul to a certain extent.

Guys, please try and remember that we're trying to keep the posts in the Forum Issues forum on topic and about the forums. There are a few posts in the Wincustomize Site Issues forum which are discussing the Upload problems. We won't be commenting about the upload pages or main wincustomize website (www.wincustomize.com) in Forum Issues, but we will be active in discussions about that, as we're able, in the Wincustomize Site Issues forum.

unclerob, nearly your entire reply was about wincustomize.com and not the forums I understand that the distinction between the two might be a little confusing, but keeping on topic will help us out a lot. Please try to watch that moving ahead.

And all, if I had like two or three more heads and a few more hands and enough hours in the day I would get everything up to speed and updated and running like a ficken top. The sad fact is that I was not blessed with these extra extremedies and I can only code so much, so fast. Hopefully it's comforting to know that nothing goes unnoticed.

Yes, that's been considered. Ads are a touchy subject here internally as they are within the community publicly. Unfortunately I dont have any more info to lend other than to say that it's been discussed in the past.
