How difficult can it be #2
Greatly related to this post I have to ask once again, “How difficult can it be?”.
Seems like a lot of theme designers can’t tell their left from their right? A theme with a sidebar on the left should not be tagged “right sidebar” - how can that be difficult to understand? And for those theme authors who tag their theme with everything (theme options, widgetized etc), for themes that actually doesnt support widgets or have theme options - you wont help yourself, you will only help cluttering up the theme viewer and make it useless.
If duplicate uploads and wrong tagging continues actions will be taken, and user uploading of themes will be removed. In english, “in the future the theme viewer will not be updated as frequently as it is now, thanks to the idiots who keeps ruining it for everyone else”. IP’s are logged, information about spammers and “ruiners” are stored, and in the future these persons will be restricted access to the theme viewer.

In order to comply (for those who are not uploading or updating ourselves) can you advise how we can update. I refer to the customized theme of Guru Manager (ID 653) that in the demo mode on this site shows as a bug on the navigation bar because of the initial version using the Database.
The latest version has been converted to text files for data and yet the old demo remains online.

Agreed, nothing bugs me more than when I sort by “blue/1 sidebar” and get green, red, orange, and black themes with 38 sidebars.
People, if you upload a theme… CHECK THE BOXES THAT APPLY. It makes everyone’s life easier.

[...] Read this and this, and hopefully you will understand why user uploading of themes has been removed. [...]

Firstly,Thank you very much for this themes that you are shareman:)and wonderfull.
In case anyone is wondering, the header.psd file is in the images folder. You can edit it in photoshop/elements and replace the “rockin suckerfish” logo with one of your own for personalization.I will using mysite, kvteror.com, woush.com, luzum.com, esonuc.com, turkzirve.com, iddaalig.net, yalan.org, sanalalan.org.The image shows up properly on the linked page but for some strange reason not on this site (in any Browser I tested it: FF, MSIE, Opera)Totally awesome theme Nathan, you should be proud. The Suckerfish menu will draw a lot (I repeat LOT) of people to use this!

Although this post is almost one year old I noticed that some themes are still being mislabled. Hopefully its only by some mistake. I think some theme makers might have some language issues.
