Do's and Don'ts

First problem>>>I've uploaded the 2 small jpeg's to my personal site 3 times, and they still don't show. ?????

Second problem>>>I've tried to find info about what can be loaded on your personal site and what can't....i.e does it have to be available in the Wallpaper gallery to post it there...are there limits to daily uploads...that kind of info.

Third problem>>>>I'm no MIT grad, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to upload walls and logons I've done to my personal site. I've tried 3 different FTP clients...and Front Page thru My Network Places. The closest I got was with Front Page 2002, and it says that the server doesn't recognize the extensions. I'm obviously not doing something right...and I didn't apply to MIT anyway!!!

Fourth problem)>>>When I'm logged in (my alais shows in the upper left hand panel of the screen, and I try to get to my personal site it says I'm not authorized. Then if I try to create a new personal site (after being prompted to) it again says I'm not authorized, yet I have a WinCustomize subscription, Object Desktop Network, Object Dock +, CursorXP +. Is there something I'm missing there as well???

Finally (I promise)>>>I read somewhere in this wealth of information that a "level 5" citizen was entitled to extra access or tools or something add'l...and StarDock has me as a 5, but here in WinCust I'm a 4....at least when I'm authorized to be a 4...that is!!!

WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP!!!!

Skins aren't uploaded to your personal site. They are uploaded to the Gallery and show up on your personal site as well if they pass moderation. Go to any skin library in the gallery and click on the Submit A Skinbutton to get to this https://www.wincustomize.com/upload.aspx page to upload your works.

You mention that you already tried to upload to your personal site, then later you mention you can't create a personal site...those statements contradict each other, so I have no clue what you mean other than you're not showing a personal site attached to your user name. Your user level is showing correctly as a Subscriber(5). While logged in, go to https://www.wincustomize.com/createsite.aspx to create a personal site. Once created go to the site and you can upload three jpgs (one for avatar, one for your pic and one showing your desktop) under site options in the My Account tab. If you have difficulties, try using SDC's browser. If you still cannot create an account, you'll need to email T-Man. His addy is located in the About Site page.
