[QUOTE="craige1, post: 540695, member: 66464"] We recently added a, what MediaPortal calls, "hover picture". It's the image that shows on the mediaportal window when you hover over a plugin link. There hasn't been a hover picture in My Anime 2 before but there was one in My Anime. You might have still had the old hover picture from My Anime coming up if you used it before. The new hover picture does not have any writting in it. It is named "hover_My Anime.png" and should be in every skin's media folder. I'm not exactly sure why it would remove the old one but not show the new one. What skin are you using? If you have a program that allows you to edit your skin then you could try updating the link to the new picture. Other thing to try is to delete the skin cache but that should of been done automatically if you used the installer. A good test of popularity, try and find this plugin by google'ing "My Anime 2"... Atm it doesn't seem that this plugin gets mentioned/recommended much out there on the big wide interweb. This isn't actually too surprising, up until this release, the only way to find this plugin was to actively search the words anime in the MediaPortal forum or to browse the plugins subforum until you stumbled across it. Now we have added the plugin to the MediaPortal plugin repository and our number of users has doubled in this one release. Not bad really, but this is still a "young" plugin.
