I get copies of the e-mails sent out. The e-mail sent re your Northern Lights dream says it doesn't work. I can understand that if the moderator testing it has a single core cpu - mine is a dual core and it runs one of them at 100%...   

Don't ask what the cause is, I do not know. All I know is it needs to be sorted out before going public.

If that's the case it would be imperative that you include that information...and link to the relevant codec to help solve the issue/s for others who download/apply the Dream.

This is really equivalent to the 'old days' of Litestep where different modules [dlls] would cause all sorts of issues so the 'best' way was to include them and/or list their specific ver numbers.  Eventually LS had the OTS/2 standard that checks your machine and dls/instals the required modules for you prior to loading the theme.

Back to the dream.... although one may work perfectly on the author's setup....if the person checking the upload has problems all he can do is reject it on the assumption he will not be the only one to do so.... and give the uploader a chance to investigate/solve the issue...
