Choking

from WinCustomize Forums

Don't want to be negative but I am beginning to choke on the quantity of three or so uploaders of mediocre dreams/screensavers/bootskins/logons/wallpapers.  Filtering through this stuff to find the gems is becoming more difficult and some good skins are being swallowed in the sheer mass of numbers.  What is up with this quantity vs quality stuff?  Is there a prize or something?

I can't show the menu bar I'm talking about as it doesn't show on this XP computer but is on my home computer with Vista and win7. This is a shot of the top of any of my pages when I go into a gallery. screen shot

DaveBax,

If you go to your account settings page you can change it to 100 skins per page.

be nice now, that ring is a honeymoon present from my wife and a respected member of the family.

No problem gm. Thanks CG1, I changed it to 24 but the top is still there and isn't a big deal. Actually I don't think it's a AD as it appears to be just a description of what ever Gallery you visit.

I will post a screen shot tonight showing the menu on my home computer. It's not a problem, but since it's there with a drop down menu, I would like to know what it says and where it takes you when you click on it.

OK, here is that menu you I asked about. I think it takes you to different skins like, highest rated, etc. Any suggestions? Also it can't be dragged or moved. SCREEN SHOT LINK

You are using Opera, right? Not sure if it's supported yet.

Reply #33 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Yes, but I use it on my work computer with XP and it's not there. Let me try it on IS with my screen resolution and see if it's there. Will be right back.

Reply #34 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Good call and thanks. It's not there using IE. We all use different browsers and I have been using opera since it came out years ago. Usually everything is fine and I'm sure not worrying about the menu but at least I know why it's there.Thanks again I appreciate it but I just feel a bit stupid for not thinking to try it in IE myself and waisting everyones time.

It was just a bit of tongue-in-cheek and no offense was intended.  Sorry if anyone was offended or hurt. :)

You didn't waste anyone's time, Dave. Everyone on this thread wanted to help. No one considered it a waste of time, so relax.

:sun:  :)

Yes you are correct Doc. I had help for so many years and don't have it now at home anymore, so again yes I can turn to the fine people here that wish to help when I have a question.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword... in this case, a keyboard.   Oh well, give him a bowl or two of curried cabbage and he'll be on the up and up even faster.

As I chew the inside of my cheek to a bloody raw mess and tell myself that I am 46 and too mature to laugh at such jokes, I curse you and I bless you at the same time. You're a sick twisted bastard and that's why I like you so much.

Now I am going to step outside and have a cigarette and laugh my ass off so I don't have to explain any of this to my wife should she look over and see tears rolling down my face.

Sorry!  Were you thinking something snowmen, or something X-massy or something???

That's alright, I got my blow-up doll for X-mas last year, all dressed up in a pretty 'Mary Christmas' outfit with red goodie-filled  fishnet stockings too.  Got some blow-up reindeer and a Santa as well.

Strewth!!!!  Thinking about X-mas decorations... it's nearly time to blow 'em up/hang 'em up again. :O :X

Yeah, I know... I'm wicked and incorrigible.  :-"

As I see it, you're never too old old mature to have a good laugh... as in laughter is the best medicine and it sure beats being straight-faced...like ya got a stick up yer butt. 

As for being a sick, twisted bastard, well yeah, it's what makes me so lovable. ;P

Yup, it's a bit hard to convince somebody they're tears of sorrow or pain when you have a smirk on your face.... and every so often erupt into fits of the giggles as well.

No, it wouldn't be the easiest thing, crawling on the floor like that... and not knowing the direction of the back door because the tears of laughter have temporarily blinded you. 

Yup, a good belly laugh does it to me every the time. :rofl:
