this is what I got when I tried to sign your guestbook essencay. the about link worked fine though.

[ArgumentException: Column 'rowid' does not belong to table guestbook.]
System.Data.DataRow.set_Item(String columnName, Object value) +100
skinners.UC_GuestBook.UpdateXMLGuestBook(Object SiteID) in C:\WebSites\Skinners\Controls\UC_GuestBook.ascx.vb:122
skinners.UC_GuestBook.btnSubmitGuestEntry_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\WebSites\Skinners\Controls\UC_GuestBook.ascx.vb:258
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +108
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +57
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) +18
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +33
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +1277

That bug should be fixed now.  If anyone is still having that problem let me know.

Thank You T-Man

Not really a bug....just annoying after being used to the way the current version of WC handles links. Links in skin descriptions are not links anymore and you have to cut-n-paste in a browser window to use them. Gets very hard to read as you can see in this example http://essencay.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=129&LibID=34&SID=1825

If you post a comment on a skin from someone's user page, the smilies get all messed up on WC. See https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=37&SkinID=141 as an example.

WooHoo....these guys are great Thanks for fixing the link thing

The link thing is still a prob though.

The smilie didn't go. The other one can be deleted.

Links work fine on the pages I've viewed....provide a link to the page(s) you saw the problem on

On the WatchList page...the right-hand column showing the Author's New Articles Watchlist...the graphics don't line up correctly on the right-hand side http://essencay.wincustomize.com/WatchList.aspx?SID=1825

Essencay, I cant see the problem....what browser you running?

IE6....I'll post a small screenie....in just a sec

Top image is the top right-hand corner of the Skins Watchlist. Bottom image is the top right-hand corner of the Author's New Articles Watchlist showing the graphics that don't line up

Hmm, not having that issue here, on any of my browsers.

It looks a bit like that on mine.

Using Opera 7.60 preview 1 (build 7141)

Smiley's arent showing up in my guestbook posts.

how do you recomend an author ??

Bring up the skin you want to recommend in detail view while at the artist's site....artist.wincusomize.com. Then choose the recommend button and it will show up at your personal site as a recommended skin. You can also do the same with feature and feature another artist's skin at your site

Awsome - Thanks Essencay, I will give this try

Well I tried to recomend some of Tiggz stuff, and what I get is "you are not authorized to perform this action" hmm- how do I become "authorized" - HELP - Thanks

Sorry, I don't know that one

Wirefree.  Give it a try again, it should work now.  I had to correct the allowed access level.

I'm going to try and make some regular posts on my site about updates that have been made so be sure to check out http://t-man.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=3 for site update information.  And add me to your watch list!

thanks T. It did let me add recomedations from other WC2K5 sites, without the error message. However now when I go back to my site and look at the Recomendations tab - this is what I see

Wirefree
