wikia FAQ is now integrated into the FAQ page of the site. One thing to keep in mind is that whenever WIKIA is down the FAQ will be down too. Not a big deal, since most downtimes are temporary.

Of all the criticisms I could make of Wikia, stability is not one of them.

Hi, little question.
Why you don't used MediaWiki here on the MusicBee site?

Too much work, specially integrating the site, creating custom theme, and then managing it. Upgrading/updating it, and lot. Also some one will have to port the current wiki and fix any issue with it.

Maybe in far future, who knows.

A new update for the add-on right transfer feature. It is now fully functional. Here is the steps to transfer add-on rights. Only mods/admin will be use this feature.

first search for an add-on that you want the rights to transfer. a dropdown will show, select by clicking the select button.

and then enter the user id:

user ID can be obtained by visiting a user's profile or simply hovering over their username:

and then press submit. This is pretty straight forward. Also when the new mailing system is done it will send two email one for the original author and another one to the new author.

this feature will come with the next major release(v2.0), it is already implemented and ready.

just a question about the dashboard.
when you update an add-on to a new version number, will the downloads counter be reset to zero?

I don't think it detects version change at all.

That appears to be what I've observed as well.  Just hoping it wasn't the case  :-\

At least two people now have asked about the skin shown at the top of the main page. (It's Monaural by Alumni, right?) Could we put a note or even a link to the Add-ons page for it, maybe over the image or right under it?

Or maybe change that image to one with MB's default skin. Folks are looking at the current image and expecting MB to open to that as the default. This results in "My newly downloaded MB doesn't look anything like the picture on the home page."
