[theme-reviewers] Regarding feedbacks about themes

[Emil Uzelac]

This is very simple "fix". Simply forward them to
http://wp-themes.com/sleek-black/ where your Theme looks good and in working
condition. User's responsibility is to keep the platform up to date as well
as any plugins they might have and sadly many of them don't even bother.
Your Theme passed the requirements and that should be good enough for you.

I had a user who tried using my Theme on 2.8 version of WordPress and yes,
nothing will work. It is also good to mention or even "require" the latest
WordPress install.



Cheers,
Emil
