I LOVE it.... i downloaded a couple hacks from here, and didnt click install.... but i was having some cache problems and all my files were corrupt.

Because i didnt click install i couldnt easily remember and find the hacks that needed to be replaced once i got the problem solved.

that reminder would have helped :)

Well, some people do re-download the mod 2-3 times or more :o

And it does count on it

Perhaps I was not entirely clear in my post. My suggestion was to require the clicking of the Install button before the download link was made available. All "installed" hacks would have their download links available, if a user were to download a hack more than once the install count would not go up only the download count. (vbhackers.com has this system active if you are unclear and care enough to check it out lol)

my point is the same can be done by modifying the attachment download function(s) ... if you are going to require it you might as well do it for them

Good point. :) I see what you were trying to say now.

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:01 PM.
