MySpace layouts in particular. Here are examples:

How on earth did those get through the queue? Those are piss poor. And those aren't even all of them! It's basically taking an image from Google, adding a few brushes, putting it through a generator, adjusting the code a little and submitting it. Is that what cB layouts have come to be? Has our design staff become a bunch of rubber stamps? (Not trying to attack you, but look at those layouts!) Please, prove me wrong. If need be, please add more links. |

In general? Better.
The house cleaning threads in each of the resource forums could stand to be unpinned/deleted.  Also, question--do design moderators only look at the screenshot before accepting a layout, or do they actually make sure that the coding is valid? I ask because while the screenshot appears perfectly fine, the coding for this particular skin is.. pretty bad to the point where if you use the provided coding as is, the layout doesn't show up. :\ |

Yeah, we click the layouts to make sure it actually works - there were a bunch that no longer worked because the blog went through a slight re-coding after it was submitted. |

Sure the coding looks the same but i'll be somewhere somehow LJ coding vs. GJ coding is different. |

GreatestJournal is based off of LiveJournal because LiveJournal is an open source project, but apparently it allows screwed up coding. :( Background doesn't appear on FF, but looks fine in IE on GJ (http://totalkaos.greatestjournal.com). Boo.
