Addon Authors! ^_^

Not sure if this is the right "area" to post this in, if it's not, please move it to it's appropos area lol. I posted this (a moment ago hah) at Curse.com, which seems to have more blanks of what I'm mentioning here, by a long shot. So please excuse me, since this doesn't apply to most authors, although the thanks sure does! So without further ado, here's a paste of my topic! ^_^ lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey! ^_^

For years you have all been so extremely awesome, making things to share with all of us, and putting up with our tarting when we have problems, or just general tarting. lol not everyone's nice, as we've seen. Anyways, I wanted to say a couple things, one of which, is thank you! Most of us appreciate what you do, even if we don't always reply, and we love the addons that you work so hard on. We appreciate the time you put into them, and appreciate your putting up with all of us. ^_^

Okay for my "tart" (lol not really, just a request) is Screenshots lol. Most of you do, and it's quite helpful. I personally look at screenshots before I download aaaanything. Strangely, looks are important to me in an addon, not only size, but also, I ask myself: "hey can I truly use this? Will this be beneficial amongst my zillion of current addons, and will it replace or work beside, my other addons well?" You put a lot of work into your addons, and truly I'm positive that if you know how to create addons, you also know how to take screenshots ^_~ (no, this isn't a "shot" at any addon author, more of a teasing jib, meant in good humour).

True, it's difficult at times to find a good hosting site. I personally was lucky to create a Homestead account before it went pay, so I'm able to host my crap there, yay!. A lot of guild websites also allow hosting of pictures, so maybe put them there and link from those, if your the guildmaster. If not, I'm sure most would be quite okay with allocating you a spot for them. If this isn't an option, let me know, as I'd be more then happy to help find a good host spot for you...I personally love scouraging the net finding the perfect "this or that" that pleases my requirements: appearance, functionality, and use.

If you need someone to take additional screenshots and host them (there has to be one at least, for original), as long as they might be something I could use, or won't conflict with my personal array of zillion of addons, I'd be more then willing to consider hosting and/or creating a few pictures for you. I will tell you, if the addon is something I consider unsafe, or has bad current reviews, I won't be able to help you...I'm not foolish enough to download dangerous products lol.

If anyone is needing this, let me know in PM.

Just to let you know a few things:

I'm a vista user, WOTLK installed. I don't test UI's ^_~. I have a widescreen so I'll have to cut or modify images or they will be huge (or scale them down lol). I'll let you see the original first, of course, before that'd be done.

Also, if you don't need me to do it, and you can take your own, just need an upload site, consider photobucket, or one of my favs: Imageshack.

But please, add screenshots to your addons. I, and others from comments I've seen, would absolutely love to try or use your addons...Some of them sound sooo amazing...but we need screenshots lol.

Plus keep in mind, for us who are addon tarts (lol) we only have so much space on our "wow" screen lol. We got stuff here...and there....and it's lucky that we can see to do anything in the game lol (okay that's an exageration lol, but you know what I mean).

Sorry for this extremely lengthy topic, just wanted to give you thanks, and this paticular thought lol. Please, if anyone disagrees with me, or whatever, I'm completely happy to read, and consider what you are saying. Thanks guys and gals!
