Why not custom?
Dec 12 2009, 3:37 AM EST | Post edited: Dec 12 2009, 3:37 AM EST
If an option for customizable styles was given, then you would not have to bother with putting new ones out as often. However, despite having said for over a year, and even two, that the feature might be added, it has not been. If it is so hard to enable the individual wikis to customize their own styles, then there should be a section where "we, the people" of wiki can submit styles that we have created. All you need to do is provide a tool somewhere for people to work with. They make the styles, the styles get voted for by the wikians, and if they are good enough, they are added to your list. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I agree - we should be able to create our own styles! Sometimes you just can't find one that fits. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I AGREE! I get bored very easily and there aren't very many to choose from. There should be more so that each site can be unique. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

You must understand Wetpaint is working very hard, and cannot get everything done at once. I agree with you all, but you must be paitent. Do you find this valuable?

Yup. We have to wait.
but can we at least pray they're released soon? (or at least, the HTML)

You never know, they could do it with their upcoming format. They said the new format would happen '"sometime in the next few weeks". It's been a few weeks, so it could come any day now...

I realize patience is important, and I know that it can take time to get things done, but two years is a long time. New styles were suggested less than one year ago, and they were produced and added as options. However, if there was a custom option, they would not have had to bother with this. All the effort they put into making styles of their own could have been outdone by putting in the effort for custom styles.

Think of the countless possibilities of styles that each wiki could have made, and how much much more satisfaction and potential there would have been, and could be, with an option for customizing.
