1. Featured Artists have proven their reliability and are allowed to upload executables;


2. If you are willing to release your source code to us, so that we may verify that it has nothing malicious in it, we may allow you to upload executables;


3. We are more likely to allow #2 if it relates to Developer Tools or Data Mods. We may allow it for regular mods as well, but less likely as most regular mods don't typically need executables for anything other than an auto-installer for them, and we already provide detailed instructions for how to install a mod manually.

Before you can begin using the Git system on WowInterface.com, you will need to supply an SSH key that enables authentication with our servers. If you aren't familiar with SSH or how to create or obtain a key, you might find the following guides useful:

• http://nathanj.github.com/gitguide/tour.html
• http://www.electrictoolbox.com/article/linux-unix-bsd/create-rsa-dsa-keys-ssh/

Once you've created your public and private key pairs, you will need to give your public key to WowInterface in order to allow the system to authenticate you. To do this, navigate to Git Control Panel and click the "Git Keys" button.

In the window that pops up you will see a place to add your key, with a spot for you to give it a name you can recognize in case you have multiple keys, and the text of the key itself. Please ensure when you are adding your key that you paste the public portion of your key, not the private portion. The public key should be stored in a file ending with the extension .pub. Here's an screenshot of me adding my home machine's public key:

Once you click the 'Add key' button, it will show up in the listing where you can delete it if necessary. You can always delete and re-add a key if something does not work properly.

Once you've added your key, you should be able to authenticate with the server, although this relies on your local machine being set up properly. You can always post on the forums if you are having difficulty, although SSH public key authentication can be a bit tricky to get working.

If you have registered, you will be able to edit and delete your posts. Note that the administrator can disable this ability as he desires. Your ability to edit your posts may also be time-limited, depending on how the administrator has set up the forum.

To edit or delete your posts, click the button by the post you want to edit. If your post was the first in the thread, then deleting the post may result in the removal of the entire thread.

After you have made your modifications, a note may appear, which notifies other users that you have edited your post. Administrators and moderators may also edit your messages but this note may not appear when they do so.

Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating.

If the administrator has enabled the Private Messaging system, registered members may send each other private messages.

Sending Private Messages

Private messages work a little like email, but are limited to registered members of this forum. You may be able to include vB Code, smilies and images in private messages that you send.

You may send a private message to a member of this forum by clicking the 'Send A Private Message' link in the private messaging section of your user control panel, or by clicking the button in a member's posts.

When you send a message, you have the option to save a copy of the message in your Sent Items folder.

Private Message Folders

By default, you will have two folders in your private message area. These are the Inbox and the Sent Items folders.

The Inbox folder contains any new messages you receive, and allows you to view all the messages you have received, along with the name of the person who sent the message to you, and the date and time the message was sent.

The Sent Items folder contains a copy of any messages that you have sent, where you have specified that you wish to keep a copy of the message for future reference.

You may create additional folders for your messages by clicking the 'Edit Folders' link.

Each folder has a set of message controls which allow you to select messages, then either move them to one of your custom folders, or delete them completely. You may also have a button which allows you to forward multiple messages from a folder to another member of the forum.

You will need to periodically delete old messages, as the administrator has probably set a limit to the number of private messages you can have in your folders. If you exceed the number of messages specified by the administrator, you will not be able to send or receive new messages until you delete some old messages.

Whenever you read a message, you will have the option to reply to the message, or forward that message to another member of the forum. You may also have the ability to forward that message to multiple members of your buddy list.

Message Tracking

When you send a new private message, you may have the option to request a read-receipt for that message. This will allow you to check whether or not a message has been read by its recipient by viewing the Private Message Tracking page.

This page is divided into two sections: unread messages and read messages.

The unread messages section shows all messages that you have sent with a read-receipt request, that have not yet been read by their recipient.

The read messages section shows all messages you have sent with a receipt request that have been read and acknowledged by their recipient. The time that the message was read is also shown.

You may choose to end the tracking on any message you choose by selecting the message and clicking the [end tracking] button.

When you receive a message with a read-receipt request, you may have the option to read the message while denying the read-receipt request. To do this, simply click the 'deny receipt' link rather than the title of the message, if it appears.

Here are the most common steps to take when sending us your custom interface:

1. You will need to zip (not ace, exe or anything else.) your custom interface files.
2. Only include the files that were modified. Interfaces that include all the default files will not be approved.
3. Include a readme.txt files with instructions on how to install your interface.
4. Log into ESO and take a picture of your interface. Then convert the picture to JPG or GIF format.
5. Once on our webpage click on the “downloads” button then select the category that best fits your interface and click the upload icon. If you made an entire interface using 90% of your own work upload it to the Suites or Total Conversions category (as appropriate). If you modified another author’s work upload it to the Mix and Match category and include credits in the description.
6. Attach the zipfile and the gif/jpg *do not use punctuation in the file names*
7. Fill in a good description of your interface. Maybe even include a link to the thread where you’re providing some support.
8. Click the submit button and wait until it’s approved. You can check the status of your interfaces and update them using the “List/Edit My interfaces” link in the login block located on the top right on the main page.

1. file upload is incomplete.
2. missing zip file or file isn't zipped.
3. missing gif/jpg
4. uploaded to the wrong category. (example: if your skin is made up of others work you need to use the Compliations category. The Suites category is for original work only)
5. unknown exe's vbs's and other executable programs are included in the zip.
6. Interface is larger then 6mb (should never be over 6mb) and you uploaded it in multiple parts.
7. we just don't like the way it looks.
