When you post your desktop, can you take 5 seconds to also include a link to your desktop wallpaper, and spend another 10 seconds listing any mods (preferably with links) to where you can download them?

I love seeing the desktops, but it gets annoying as hell seeing every 2nd post asking 'link to wallpaper?'...

Of course, you are right. However, I think people are not going to do it. Why? It is simple psychology: we want to be asked for wallpapers. Because we like to know that somebody else like what we like: our wallpaper, desktop etc. So, your suggestion could work if only we have two things added to the forum:

- some sort of button titled "I like this wallpaper",

- simple counter "x people like this wallpaper".

Such a simple feedback could be effective, I think. Maybe we should suggest to Neowin adding such a function to this part of forum?

(Btw: is it possible to add some function to only part of the forum? :) )

nice idea but i dont think it can be done to only part of a forum. Ive seen on other forums a 'thanks' link but thats it.

Either way, to me it just gets annoying seeing page after page of 'can i have that wallpaper'.. Doing what I suggested the wallpaper is there in the post itself, and the people wanting it can comment 'that is a excellent desktop or wallpaper, thanks for the link!'

I guess we will see what the mods come up with for posting rules for December. :)

Did you edit the wallpaper and put your name on it, so you can see your name all the time? or what? :|

I have a few computers I use so I like to recognise that as default :p

I'm finally back to a dual screen setup. It makes me very, very happy.

Both LCD.. So freaking happy.

I have a general request for people posting desktops.

When you post your desktop, can you take 5 seconds to also include a link to your desktop wallpaper, and spend another 10 seconds listing any mods (preferably with links) to where you can download them?

I love seeing the desktops, but it gets annoying as hell seeing every 2nd post asking 'link to wallpaper?'...

I suggest each poster from this point on do it in this format:

[desktop pic]

[link to wallpaper used]

[desciptions and links to any desktop mods used]

What do the mods think of that suggestion?

So what your suggesting is that people should read and follow the posting guidelines as seen on the first page??

Ridiculous, ok maybe not, I often wonder if anyone read them :p

* In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Themes: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

:p

now, mind posting the wallpaper, TinEye did nothing for me :(

As I said last night, I'm back to dual monitors finally, and quite happy about it, been tinkering with dual monitor wallpapers again.
