If you go into the hanger and place a check mark in the box to auto download skins your problem is solved.

Ditto. I was thinking about this last night as new skins rolled in.

"New skins, cool. To bad I won't be able to easily tell which are new."

... Except the new la7 skin I noticed because there are only a few for the 7, nice job Greebo!

maybe someone could post the complete list around the same time the downloads come in?

A doozy, this one.  One the one side, having skins appear in the order they were added would be nice.  However, it would make it look sloppy/disorganized as everything would but out of alphabetical/numerical order.

What if there was an option to choose which way the skin list is displayed? :headscratch:

While skins are still downloading, they often appear in red in the drop down list. The red means they can't be used but the system has recognized there should/is to be a skin there. You can use this to get an idea of which skins are new.

I rebuilt the HTC website out of boredom, I was messing around with how the skins page should look and I came up with this:
http://ahwebnewv1.weebly.com/skins.html

Now that it's been brought up, having a section at the top for "newly released skins" would be a benefit. Of course I can't make HTC adopt this system, but since it's my project I can mess around with it to see what people like and don't like.

My last of my classes are this week, someone send me a PM on Friday as a reminder and I'll see what I can come up with. I would also like to add some skins from other skinners so it doesn't look like I'm showboating...
