WinCustomize / Stardock site problems?

from WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if anyone else is having problems, but the site keeps showing me as being offline. I can get back in from time to time, but access is very patchy at best. I can read forums, but not post. If I try I get the 'forums go boom' message. My typing in the message box being in Times New Roman is a tip that a post is going to fail...

No amount of cookie clearing, logging in/out works. I just have to wait until it's on!

I was having the problem yesterday with IE 8 and Win 7 64 bit, but not with IE 8 and XP 32 bit.  It started working but then today it's doing the same thing.  Downloaded FF on the Win 7 system and don't have the problem. :S

The new WinCustomizeTest Beta site is available and I wondering if there might be a connection. :-"

I'm not having a problem with posting, but in the galleries, I'm getting a row of thumbnails not showing.

usually this occurs with unannounced (un)scheduled maintenance. I've been experiencing terrible response times around 6:00 AM EST.

Before you start your regular bitch-fest, try reading the screen/info properly.

Hey RND; Click on Explore in the header, this will bring up a page with featured galleries, at the bottom are links to the rest of the galleries, all DX is there.

With making a few clicks it seems that the beta site is not bad.  It would be nice to know what parts are not there yet. 

Anyone find a bug thread yet?

That just took me to the forums Doc and not to a thread.  Usually a bug thread gets started from the developer or person who is collecting the feedback.

Tried to post on there and see if it posted here, but couldn't post there.

Yeah, Philly, but if they wanted that, I think they would have let us know.... also, no smilies there (yet).  ;)

Widgets, ok, but no DesktopX themes, which is what I make primarily.

Themes, man, themes!!!    >_>
