I currently have two boards I admin. Ones using stock 3.7.3 with no add-ons (yet!) and the other is 3.6.8. I'm sure others are in this situation too. Or, they have a board that is 3.6, but have a test site that is 3.7 (or similar). So, having users verify their version doesn't necessarily help cuz they may be asking for help on either of their boards.

If I were to play with this board, I'd add something into the New Thread form for the help forums to tell users that if they want help, they should post their version number, OS, applicable hacks, etc. - as much information as possible and also a helpful thread title. Better help is available if the helpers know as much information as possible.
