What Happened To.....

Old Skins Missing?

February 9, 2017 1:34:03 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I've noticed that skins by essorant and others have been taken down. Any way of getting them now? I love Jingo and Cadiz but lost them due to a forced reformat. I usually try and archive them but didn't get the chance before they were taken done. Also, some skins give an error code when you try to download them. Why are the pages still there if they aren't available?

Also, some skins give an error code when you try to download them.

You'd probably need to list the specific skins so they could check them.  As far as I know if there's a download button they should download.

I don't know what's happened with essorant, I can't seem to turn up anything either.  Seems he might be gone (?).

I have noticed that happening a lot on older skins Barb, don't know why though. I sometimes find an older skin, but there is no screenshot with it and when I click download I get a file not found error.

Seems so, shame too, as I really liked his Cinnabar suite. I just found another one. Christmas Time Imagine Clock by paxx. Have found some that  have a preview but the link is bad. Go figure.....

It's sad that Tim's skins are gone.  

There are two (paid) skinpacks that are available and are still beautiful and well made.

When the site was updated many years ago, there was something that broke a small number of very old skins. If you come across any, just submit a support ticket so it can be looked at.
