- Screenshots can now be up to 50KB, but if they are above 300px wide, they will be shrunk.
- The front page now lists new styles, updated styles, and highly rated. Highly rated will pick 5 styles at random with at least 4 stars on at least 5 ratings.
- You can’t make a new rating with half-stars. I plan on only allowing whole-number ratings and making a better UI for this in the future.
- Some visual stuff. I find it really helpful that people make user styles for userstyles.org. Some great ideas in there.

Can you please show more than 5 styles of each list, maybe 20? Sometimes there are allot of additions over a day’s period, and it’s almost impossible to figure out which ones are new in the “All Styles” page.
Or, if you’d like, you can make the “All Styles” page sortable by name or date added or modified, even by affected program or website. That’ll be really great.
Thank you very much.

Mickey, there are now two feeds on the main page - one for updated styles and one for new styles.

IMHO I think this could look better. Maybe have that link on its own line or something.

I found that to be a good addition, thanks. But, this morning I checked the page, there were 5 new styles. I don’t know now if these are the only new ones, or there were 12 new styles but I can only see the last 5. It’s really difficult to look through all the styles. Please show more in each catagory, I believe 20 should be wonderful.
Sorry for nagging, but I love the styles, and don’t wanna miss one.
Thank you.

Mickey, I don’t think you understood what I said. There are now two *feeds* on the main page. Like RSS. You can subscribe to these feeds to see all the new or updates.

But I went to http://userstyles.org/ and couldn’t find where those feeds were. I might be looking in the wrong place, can you please direct me to these feeds?
I’m really sorry for so much hassle. Thanks.

Feeds show up in Firefox in the right of in the address bar.
http://userstyles.org/style/new_feed/
http://userstyles.org/style/new_feed/rss
http://userstyles.org/style/updated_feed/
http://userstyles.org/style/updated_feed/rss

The RSS feeds don’t work as I thought they would. I just submitted a style (http://userstyles.org/style/show/332), and it shows up as the first one in the “New” list on the userstyles.org front page:

However, when I view the RSS feed for new styles in Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com/), it does not show up first; the list appears to be randomized for some reason:

This is not a problem with Netvibes, as this does not happen with any other feeds.

Jason, you must add MIME-type application/xml to .htaccess file.
For example, if the feed extension is .xml, add to .htaccess:
AddType application/xml xmlExample:
http://zoolcar9.lhukie.net/feeds/misc/ unknown type
http://zoolcar9.lhukie.net/feeds/plain/ plain text
http://zoolcar9.lhukie.net/feeds/rss/ RSS feed

Thank you jason, I’m fairly new to Firefox, so I didn’t even know what Live Bookmarks are.
I’m with you pile0nades, I also prefer having the newer ones on the top.

Lou, the feeds are of the correct types. The Atom one is application/atom+xml and the RSS one is application/rss+xml. It’s a bug in Firefox that it tries to download them instead of display.
