Fix the problem

Published on October 30, 2006 By _02 In WinCustomize Site Issues

I would like to know why the file My Computer in misc.icons was rejected when it is still waiting for moderation. And if you say that it is not the right icon in the zip file your wrong. I have uploaded it on two different websites with no problems and I have checked the zip file myself. So somewhere on this website there is an error where it is not showing the right icon in that file.

Now that you renamed the file, it worked and I've approved the submission.

I apologize for being so hot headed, I know you all were just trying to help, thanks Zoomba for being so patient with me, I'm just too vocal at times

Hi portraits, Zoomba, Zubaz, Hankers and all. Nice icon portraits. I'll have to remember to take a look at what you have there portraits. My gig is screen shots. I'm definately gonna have a look at your library. Might be an icon or 2 in there that's stylish.

Exactly two things can cause a mismatch with an image and a preview...

Both are all about cache.

You upload a file...but use the same preview name as a previous file...and the site cache reads it as the same and the same preview image is posted to both files...fault there is with the namer/uploader of the file. When it's spotted an email is usually sent...along the lines of....

"Unfortunately it failed to upload. The preview needs to be a full-size jpg image ...the small image is generated by the site. ...and the name must be unique to you...and only alpha-numeric." [that's a cut/paste from my 'list']

The other possibility is with they uploader's subsequent checking of the result....but getting the wrong image 'returned' because of what is STILL in their browser cache....that, too is not a fault of the site or it's moderators.

The only sure-fire way to guarantee no confusion/error would be any original upload be deleted from the server...[as I suggested in #1], or for the file AND preview to be uploaded with new unique names...as Zoomba suggested in #9.

The rest of this is a reflection of the unwarranted tone inherent in the thread title, along with the assertion that the fault was/is elsewhere, and to paraphrase - "your wrong" [sic]....

A simple polite request for assistance from the site's volunteer moderators would have been more appropriate.

Either way it was resolved....
