** 3\/26\/13 UPDATE ** The final stage of migration will begin Thursday, Mar 28<\/strong><\/em> at 2pm PDT. At this time, getpersonas.com will go into read-only<\/em><\/strong> mode, which means it will not accept any new registrations, logins, or theme submissions. We expect this process to last up to two weeks. After migration is complete, you will be able to submit new themes on addons.mozilla.org.<\/h4>\n

—
\nWe are making progress on the migration of getpersonas.com<\/a> to addons.mozilla.org<\/a> (AMO), and we wanted to give you an update! As many of you know, getpersonas.com was the original home for background themes, and was created as part of a Mozilla Labs experiment. The site became strained as a result of its success, and a move to the add-ons (and Marketplace) ecosystem is necessary to ensure it continues to thrive.<\/p>\n

Background themes on AMO already enjoy features such as ratings and reviews, and support for over 30 languages. When the migration is complete, we\u2019ll also have a brand-new submission page, artist profile page, and a vastly improved reviewer tool. (See below for screen shots).<\/p>\n

We are aiming to complete the migration within the next three months. If you are a getpersonas.com user, you will receive an email containing more details in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

What it means for you as a getpersonas.com user<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    If you have an AMO account using the same email address <\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n

    After the migration, log in to addons.mozilla.org using your AMO credentials<\/strong><\/em>. Your favorites from getpersonas.com will appear in your My Favorites collection, and any themes you have created will appear on your profile page.<\/li>\n

  2. \n
    If you don’t have an AMO account <\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n

    After the migration, log in to addons.mozilla.org using your getpersonas.com credentials<\/strong><\/em>. Your favorites from getpersonas.com will appear in your My Favorites collection, and themes you have created will appear on your profile page.<\/li>\n

  3. \n
    If you have accounts on both sites, and log in using different email addresses<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n

    We won\u2019t be able to automatically match accounts that have different email addresses. This means you will continue logging in to addons.mozilla.org using your AMO credentials to access your AMO content (e.g. add-ons you\u2019ve created and your add-on collections), and log in using your getpersonas.com credentials to access your getpersonas.com content (e.g. themes you’ve created and your favorite themes).<\/p>\n
