Where should questions go? Been seeing a lot pop up as new threads while the skinning section's rules kinda imply that it should be going to mlgnom's thread

Would suggest to have a thread, clearly stated by the title to put your questions there but from experience I know that 50% will keep asking outside of said area so it may not work completely fine.RockRoller wrote:
I think they should be posted in the forum. The Post is really chaotic and you need to wait a long time to get an answer, if you ever get one.Geroyuni wrote:

Make the important pinned thread entitled in all caps to let other people read before posting.deadbeat wrote:
Stefan and I cleaned up the pinned threads a bit. Let us know if it's better now, or if you think something else should go.

I personally think that there are still three more stickies that can go
How to make spinners symmetrical is a thread that does not need stickied. Is this somehow still an issue in 2017? How hard is it to make a circle and center align it?

Skinnable files list is obsolete. That info is all in the wiki.
How to adjust my skin.ini is also obsolete for the same reason.
It would also be great to have some kind of separation for questions and FAQs, and skins. I think it would be smarter to make the main forum for questions and a subforum for skins, because the people who are asking questions are the ones who are more likely to put their thread the first place they see. I also think that the rules should be made the sole announcement and everything else made a sticky so that that thread is the first thing you see when you come into the forum as it is on top and separated from everything else
Yes, it still is, especially for newbie skinners.Philosofikal wrote:

The list on the wiki isnt as good as the list. The list also features way more informations.Philosofikal wrote:

Why people shouldn't be able to understand simplified English. I don't like your ideaRockRoller wrote:
Stefan the english is really easy, but many people can't even understand that little bit english. Maybe translating at least the rules to another languages could be an idea.
Rethinking about that, it would be stupid.. they could read the rules but couldn't do anything more..Lyawi wrote:

+1 on that, ppl can look at WIP skins and give feedback while not getting lost in the already answered questions that are here for <1 yearRockRoller wrote:
I also really like the idea to separate completed Skins, Skins that are WIP/pending for complete status and question/general talk about skinning.
But I think it would be hard to do it. There are 116 Pages in this forum (112 or so after some got moved to completed) you would need to sort.h3oCharles wrote:

Yeah, I do agree. I do have no one to blame aside from myself, however the point I was trying to get across is that mods aren't the only who should have to do everything. I'd rather encourage people to help out more in small ways and not just leave all the heavy lifting to the mods. Sure we're the only ones with the powers required to lock/move threads, but at the same time, people are always free to reach out to us to ask for help. Waiting for help to arrive on it's own doesn't really work all the time.crystalsuicune wrote:
As for the Completed Skins subforum…To be honest that post from deadbeat a page or two back rubbed me the wrong way.
Sure we could work together to manage the quene and not place the burden on deadbeat alone,
in the end it's the -mods- who have the forum tools to move threads.
You can't just start a project like this,run off,then blame us for not doing the job you're supposed to be doing.
I think you slightly misunderstood the purpose of deadbeats original post regarding extra help from outside the official osu moderation team, overall he's suggesting in a strong fashion that users outside the respective administration should contribute towards a better skinning subforum (or in general just help out where it's needed).crystalsuicune wrote:

In that case fair enough.deadbeat wrote:

I hope that kind of explains myself a bit better. Explanations and stuff have never been a strong point of mine.
No, it's fine. I don't mind people calling me out like that. Feel free to do so.crystalsuicune wrote:

We're in this shit together after all,and sorry if I came off as being a dick.
Essovius is the owner of the site.h3oCharles wrote:
also, who's maintaining osuskinner? what about getting more approvers for that site so it can evolve?
so when someone posts mixed skins how about directing them to make an account on osuskinner and upload all of the elements?
