Bug in Skin database!!!

garykool · 24th April 2003, 17:48

I dont know what to say about this!

I got the attached URL as a link to my skin in 'Submission reviewed' confirmation mail.
As u can see, this is a link to WA3 site, whereas mine is a WA2 skin!
Surprisingly, this link works & shows u that it is a WA3 skin!
There is a link for my skin in WA2 site too! confirming it a WA2 skin!

WA3(!) skin:
http://www.winamp.com/components/det...onentId=132228

WA2 skin:
http://classic.winamp.com/skins/deta...onentId=132228

Could somebody at nullsoft explain this?

Makes no difference, the acctual database is one thing, the component ID is valid for BOTH sites, the regular winamp.com and classic.winamp.com

Both sites take their skins from one central database.

How is this a bug? and what's a "foll"?

By the way, foll = following.

Hey Dam!
Now how do you know so much about DM? Am I seeing a competitor for me?
Anyway by quoting that u have made my day!

dam · 24th April 2003, 18:56

I'm no great Diya fan but I live in India and it was mentioned in almost every magazine availalbe. Actually it was the pic of Aishwariya Rai that got by attention

What's happened? No more view of raw directory with _deleted_ screenshots?

Mr Jones · 24th April 2003, 19:02

dir level access has been wacked for a while, security measures.

Jellby · 24th April 2003, 19:41

It's that "for a while" what I like

To be frank, I was surprised there was dir level access at all, I thought it was an unwanted feature.

Mr Jones · 24th April 2003, 19:43

It probably was, the .htaccess files were probably screwed or something, or more likely not even there...

ripe · 24th April 2003, 20:01

well, I kinda miss that access. It used to be good for checking your skin's big screenshot after uploading. Now you have to wait until it is published...

browsing thru the _delete_ skins used to be fun too ;P

Have the reviewers stopped respecting the skinmasters? Most of the new WA2 skins I see have no staff comment, better they may be.

My skin, got Overall rating of 4 stars, but hey! that 'Approved' word makes me uneasy.

Wildrose-Wally · 26th April 2003, 18:38

I respect the skinners allright, but the review system is so buggy lately, I spend as little as possible time in it so as many as possible skins can be published before it craps out on me. Hence the "Approved. Thank you for your submission."

If we are unable to publish the skins, they'll never get any ratings.
