[WEBSITE v2] MusicBee website and forum redesign

[hiccup]

Thnx, and enjoy your holidays too!
See you next year...

I am not sure if this has been in the original proposals for the new forum, but I think it would be a good idea to have 'Polls' as a childboard under 'General Discussions'.
It's a rather specific beast, and would be good to give it's own playground.

Yes, a great idea!

I believe this has been mentioned before, but I'd like to keep it on your radar for the next update...

A clearer, more obvious icon for going to one's private messages. Yes, the 'bell' changes to a circle(?) when a new PM has been received, but if one has no new PMs and wants to look at old ones (sent or received) the 'bell' doesn't really ring any bells (sorry, I couldn't resist) that that is the place to look. Something more appropriate/obvious would be an envelope.

[hiccup]

Yup, I believe I raised this in the past too.
In the beginning it slightly confused me also. A bell is more related to 'alert'.
If you google-image on 'message icon', you'll predominantly find envelopes and text balloons.

Added on my todo list. Will be available on the next update.

With the dashboard section, the overview only shows download stats for your 10 most popular add-ons.
Would it be possible to add a downloads column to the "View all add-ons" page please?

This is already implemented in v2.0 update. The demo is available in test.getmusicbee.com

here is how it looks:

I didn't realise the test site was on-going!
I thought it was just the same as the final V1.2 design 

I'll keep an eye on what's happening there before I make any other already implemented suggestions

well most of the changes are under the hood. No major cosmetic changes are planned for v2.0

Confirmed. And I'm pretty sure it's been asked/reported before.
It'd be really nice to have the icon actually do something.  :-)

Ah, o.k.

yes you are right, right now it does not do anything. i added it as a visual indicator for search. I will make it clickable in next update.
