Hi. A pop-up came up on my NeoLemmix Player about an update. I've been told to go to www.neolemmix.com to download. It's fine that it takes you to the main page, but it doesn't take you directly to the download page, which led me to be confused.

https://www.neolemmix.com/?page=neolemmix is a better link.

Partly, this is to do with not having a really long link. Perhaps what I need to do is create an easy to remember subdomain - like "update.neolemmix.com" or "get.neolemmix.com" - that instantly redirects users to the download. Then, NL could simply present that.

Commit 3453c49 does one better: The popup now has a "Go to NeoLemmix website" button that can be clicked to go straight to the right page on the NL site. Likewise, the notification for styles updates includes an "Open Style Manager" button.
