How about preceding it with something, for example "If 'I uninstall this mod' will it fix my board?" Maybe not the best example within the context of this post but it works. ;)

Yes that could work - "If I uninstall this mod I vote for Chris M to become World President" :D

Just kidding, we will set our master of grammar Brad on it.

If I was in charge of that, you'd all have to re-learn english. The entire forum would sound like a bunch of rednecks at a Fish Fry in the Virgina Hills.

[high]* Brad is allowed to say the above because he is a redneck and loves to go to fish fries in the Virgina Hills. :)[/high]

I'll see what I can do though. :)

If I knew what a "fish fry" was..... :p

As it currently is, I believe the phrase conveys "I am uninstalling this mod"

As you worded it "I have uninstalled this mod".

Either are acceptable.

But is it correct to switch between tenses?

No, I agree with you there that it would be best to keep the same style of phrase.

Considering language, primarily english, evolves every half-decade so there's a good chance we'll have to if your changes have a substantial following. :D

Normally I don't nitpick :p but I spotted this:

"I uninstall this mod"

shouldn't this be:

"I uninstalled this mod"

Damn! I thought I spotted it first...i've been merged :P

If everyone is going to have a cow about it, it should be

I [have] uninstalled this mod
or
I['ve] uninstalled this mod

sheesh
