1/18 I'm having so much problems with this and just a couple tweaks would make it better! first of all the reddit option for pictues is horrible 1) it won't rotate.. it's been stuck on one pic for 2 days now 2) when it was working and rotating, the pics on that site are utter crap.. and i've done an extensive search for reddit wallpaper.. they are pretty bad - Our other option is to use a pic url - but ppl don't want us drawing traffic to their site just so we can use their url to show a pic on surge.. please give us an option to simply upload a pic from our files - |
