Urgently Needed: Fixing For Download Skin Chaos
« on: December 11, 2003, 06:40:09 am »

The "Accessories > Skins > Mega-Me Skins" webpage now shows "Download for v9.0" for all skins. If you download these skins with MC 9.1.316, MC will lock up / crash!

Only the first and second skin on that page ("NightLife Mega" and "Champagne.zip") will work with MC 9.1... But they will not work with MC 9.0 or MJ 8...

  • The skins on the mentioned page should be marked as "Download for MJ8 & MC 9.0"
  • On top of the mentioned page, there should be a button / link to a new page that offers skins for MC 9.1 (and MC 10...?), so users of previous builds of MC 9.1 can find the right skins
  • There should be a build 9.1.317 where the "Download More Skins" link of the skin manager leads to that new page
Maybe there are some reasons why there's not a new page for 9.1 skins yet (compatibility with MC10?). But every few days, users who are not permanent forum visitors, report problems with downloading skins. Being forced to poke around in the forum can not be the solution... And a link from inside MC that leads you directly to stuff that crashes MC may leave these users helpless...

We're working on a new plugin / skin backend.  Hopefully it'll go live within a few weeks.

Well, that's great - I'm looking forward to it!  ;)

Meanwhile, without coding new stuff, a little (?) sorting of webpages may help to avoid some unhandsomely conflicts... worth a try ? ;D

Glad to hear it matt,

One thing to consider when doing it - letting us put multiple versions of a plugin up so we could have a plugin uploaded as well as an upgrade version and just have one entry on the plugin page for the plugin with two seperate links for the full package and for just the upgrade :)

It'll be nice to see that, its been needed for a while :)
