According to our records you have recently downloaded one or modifications that are not currently marked as installed.

Please take a few moments to review all your Downloaded Modifications) and check if you have installed any of them on your forum(s).

If you are using any of the modifications, and have forgotten to mark them as installed, then you can do so by clicking on the blue 'Downloaded' link next to each modification title.

You can also find the 'Mark As Installed' link within each modifications information page.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications may be notified by the author whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to our attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps the author know how many people are using their work, giving them extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

If you have chosen not to mark these modifications then just ignore this reminder.

Downloaded modifications that have not been installed will only appear in the 'Downloaded Modifications' list for five weeks - and you will only be reminded about a downloaded modification once.

Thank you,

vBulletin.org Staff

what the hell...

I don't need this crap in my inbox!

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
this is retarded

first I get an infraction because I noted a user had a warez forum, and now I get this

and you guys wonder why so many ppl leave the Org...

It tells you how to turn off the notifications in the last line.....

or are you making comments regarding the grammar (I think someone needs to proofread that message!)? :D

I see how to remove it, and I've disabled it
and no, I didn't post it because the grammar, I would be the last person to critique the way someone post..lol

It just amazing me.. so now we can't even dl a mod to try it out without making it as installed, or be hounded.

it's just disappointing, that's all :(

The feature is a reminder for forum owners to click install so that they can be aware of any security vulnerabilities. It's not meant for spamming, and if you don't like it than disable the feature.

is it new? I've never had it before and I know I've downloaded files before to test and didn't click "install"

I received it today too, but I've been receiving it for the past year...

I just click installed-uninstalled because I consider them important/interesting for my board...

JFYI, its been around for at least a year.

oh, and stop moaning about your infraction, if you had reported the thread instead of making some silly comment in it, you would not have got mistakenly infracted - and since it got reversed when the error was spotted, I fail to see what your problem is anyway. I guess some people just like to moan.

Paul, Sir..

if it's been around a year, they why have I never had this message before? I fail to believe this

and the infraction was certainly not reversed, or it wouldn't say 30 point infraction in my profile.

It's not that I like to moan, but I will not hold back when mistakes are Obviously made ;)

I can verify that I was receiving these messages for several months until I turned the option off in my User CP at the beginning of the summer. Have you changed your email, Loco?

(You might want to take the talk about the infraction to PM with Paul.)

I just love how staff always takes things around here personally and use their authority to have the last snide word in the form of a personal attack when they can.

Meanwhile, if the little people do it, infractions fly and posts disappear.

But I doubt that stuff flies out in public, right? It's harder face to face to be tough guy.
