Is there any particular reason as to why only the author of the modification ( the one who posted the modification ) can see this, and not anyone else who goes into the modification release thread ?

To save on resources possibly, who knows. I can't see it being that much of a heavy query though..

Actually, I'd put money on privacy purposes.. ;)

yup it's for privacy issues, to protect an installee against any exploits that the mod might have.

Do non-licensed members here get to post in the modification release forums ?

*nods* Imagine if everyone could see (for example) tht others had installed the loginlog hack...nobody would ever register at those sites...

*edit* A 'show who has viewed this thread' addition (for staff only) would probably be a good suggestion for use in tracking people who have read the thread, not "installed" it, but gone off and done something dodgy with it.
