I've found that upgrading never works for this mod. Every time you try to import the latest version and allow overwrite it always installs it as a completely new version and you end up with both the old and new versions installed.

The only way to upgrade each time that actually works is to first make sure you have a backup copy of all of your site rules, and the rest of the settings in the mod, then completely uninstall the existing version, install the new one, and then re-enter all of the settings and rules.

Is this happening because each new version is actually named differently? So vB thinks it is a completely different product when you install it? i.e each version has the version number in the name of the file at the end such as 3.7, 3.8 etc. If this version number wasn't in the filename then would the mod update correctly and overright the existing mod instead of installing another one alongside the existing one? Would make life much easier if you could get it to do this.

I forgot to also add that having to uninstall an old version, and then install the new one means it resets members having to accept the rules again. This really annoyed some of my existing forum members.
