Thank you for that Jan I never knew that.  Although I do agree with ecartz.  Feeds specific to add-ons would be a much better option and would revolutionise one's workload.

Sorry just my 2p's worth

Can't see a good reason not to bump this 4 month silent thread with my question.

I made a change to a shipping module in MVS and the thread monitor suggested;
"If you've verified that this works, please update the MVS distribution package."

I did that. I think! I posted the update on March 3rd but it still doesn't show up when you look for it. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if I'm just being impatient. How long does it normally take for a contribution to be accepted?

I'm very grateful to Harold and Jim (kymation) and many more of you who have done so much to help us all. Last thing I want to do is double post a contrib that many people probably won't be interested in anyway.

I have a contribution that I would to like to upload to the addon's. I know where to upload them but cannot find any information on how to restrict public additions to the addon once I have submitted it. I plan to maintain the contribution but do not want the headache that seems to develop on many of the contributions where after a period of time you have so many versions by various people that you have multiple questions and confusion as to which is the good one to download and use.
I have spent many hours going over some of these contributions that are in the situation as described above. I would like to save people the time and headaches involved.
If anyone can tell how or direct me to someone who would know how to do this (No public uploads allowed to addons) I would appreciate it.

You should contact a team member and ask him to look at it. If the size is over 300 KB, it is held for approval and sometimes they are not noticed, for whatever reason, and don't get approved.

Afte you have uploaded the contribution, there will be a link to manage it. Click on that and set the no public uploads option.

Thanks for the quick reply Jack.
I'm doing some clean up work on it and I will be submitting it hopefully next week.

i am trying to add an update file to an existing contribution
yet no matter what i try it wont allow me to log in?
keeps telling me username or password are incorrect
i have done a password reset, and as you can see i am able to log into forums ok
yes and cookies are enabled
short of creating another account not sure what else to try
any ideas?

[Jack_mcs]

You may be trying to upload to a contribution that does not allow public uploads. If that is not the case, you will need to contact a team member to see what the problem is.
