Adding someone as a co-auther/supporter
 
Does this give them any benefits as to the actual thread? Or does it simply list their name with a link?

Shazz 07-23-2007 04:47 PM
They can see who marked installed, and who downloaded at what version
Thats about all I can see it as.

Yours Truly 07-23-2007 04:52 PM
Okay cheers buddy =]

Can i just ask what's the benefits of that?

Is it just to see who should get support and whatnot?

Benefits of marking install?

Yours Truly 07-23-2007 05:09 PM
No the benefits of seeing who has installed it =]

Shazz is correct, that's pretty much the only difference.

Some authors stipulate that they'll only provide help to users who have marked their modification as installed; this provides a means to monitor such activity. There is probably some other purpose behind it, but I see that as a primary use of it.

IMO
I also think the author feels good when it shows up more installs on there mod they have made and that other people are using something they have created or done.

I feel it co-authors should get credit. :D Always have.
