Although I don’t know the specific numbers, I have a general idea for the category I review for. However, I think I’ll leave this one up to Mark to answer as I’m not sure it’s something I would get in trouble for sharing. I’ll let Mark know that you’re curious to know.

I think knowing that percentage is just another way to prove how talented a person must be to say they’re an author on ThemeForest. I suspect that a large portion of the folks who say they are website designers would never get accepted as a ThemeForest author. That just goes to show the amazing quality of work being sold here and the skill level of the people who actually make it to this level.

Another one of those “fulfill my curiosity” questions:

I’m wondering how many submissions ThemeForest receives daily compared to how many get approved for sale on the market place. With such high standards, I’d guess it’s something like 5-10% approval rates. Anyone have any insight on that or care to make an educated guess?

I’m curious to know if the first theme’s author actually wrote that javascript code or if they’re re-using it from somewhere else too. It’s common here for author’s to reuse open source javascript in sliders and stuff. If that’s the case, then they just need to put comments with author credit at the top of the file. Problem solved.

Thank you for your question.

If you look closely at the code you’ll see that it is associated with all unique features for Pandora theme: windows7-like selection in the menu, newsticker, portfolio hover effects, portfolio filter etc.

And the fun thing about it, is that JS code is so highly integrated with the theme (it was built from the ground) that to work well it required the full copies of HTML parts (and HTML parts required CSS …) which was widely copied too.

I’m very impressed, Alaja!

Is that slider jquery or what? I didn’t catch exactly what file that was.

Full JavaScript file. But to work well it required the full copies of HTML parts. HTML parts required CSS stealing and even the button background was stolen.

So did you originally write all of that javascript and HTML /CSS that they stole from you?

jquery i think. Who’d use something else?

Sorry, I meant is the file they’re showing in the video jquery. I didn’t mean to type slider.

So, newbies, this is a lesson for you: change your avatar into provoking female photo and you’ll get detailed answers from reviewers… and freshface will notice you also

Thanks for keeping it professional.

I hardly think a vague, drunk avatar of me is “provoking”. And I never use my gender to get ahead in this game. You’d be surprised how far simple and clear communication can get you (an optimistic outlook doesn’t hurt either).

@jremick

You have really gone above and beyond in your reply. Thanks very much! I’m gonna have to print this out and keep it handing during my next redesign.

I know that the rejections, feedback, and redesigns will make me a better web designer in the long run as long as I hold onto my patience and keep moving forward. It doesn’t hurt to have awesome feedback from people here on TF. Thanks again!
