faster loading of skins

dragonmaster · 9th January 2001, 22:31

Is there any faster way to preview the skins than what I have been doing which is clicking on a topic and waiting for the previews to load up 5 at a time. It takes about 40 seconds to get each set of previews up on my screen. Give another 20 seconds for browsing through them and at a minute per batch it could take almost 7 hours of nonstop loading to get through 2000 skins. And since many of the files contain even larger amounts of skins, the task becomes quite daunting! I pity the poor people who went to the trouble of creating a skin, only to have them placed further down the list because I don't think too many people would endure the lengthy process of trying to see them. Is there a shortcut to quickly previewing an entire set of skins that I am not aware of? Thanks. By the way, I did try the search function but didn't find it terribly helpful since you pretty well have to know what is available. A lot of authors don't give their skins a readily recognizable and searchable name either.

I have the same problem... I liked how you could select (up to 50, I think) how many skins to look at , instead of 5

maybe they will bring that back if there is a complaint sent in.
