There are a few mods that i'm waiting on a vb4 version becoming avaliable before upgrading my boards.
Has anyone acctually complained about notifications?

If I have a vb3 mod installed, I don't want an email about that mod directing me to the vb4 version.

Same here Mikey, sorry to everyone else but I had not only friends on here but clients as well that said hey Mike.. does this mean I need to upgrade my Thanks Hack? I received several emails.... they all own 3.8 forums and one even tried to download and install the 4.0 mod (and no, not everyone knows all this stuff or has time to know and no not everyone reads either lol... just how life is but sending an update on a 3.8 mod not even regarding the specific version i.e. 3.8 was sent....) so it caused some confusion.
I don't think the ones using the update feature that way even thought about using it to their advantage in any way at all to be honest, they are great coders, great mods too, they just wanted to inform everyone who had been waiting... I see nothing wrong with that but the confusion that one simple act caused should not be allowed imo as I said above it's not like everyone has time to know all this.. I have some who tell me "I only have time to run the forums (the specifics, knowing their niche and members) and you do the forum work and mods ok?" I mean we have to look at it from every angle not just the ones we are used to viewing... no one likes change but neither do they like confusion.
