It cuts my time in half - now I have a separate e-mail folder to house the vb4-compatible notification e-mails (or atleast ... the ones that were sent before the announcement was made) and when I go to upgrade to vb4 in the near future, I can just refer to those e-mails instead of having to search through the vb4 mods forum. Makes my job a heck of a lot easier.

IMHO - Better to delete an unwanted e-mail than to never receive a wanted one.

To those who consider a vb4 announcement spam, with all the real spam I get already, hitting delete on a few more e-mails that I had originally opted into but now am not interested in receiving is no big deal. Fact of the matter is that by installing the modification and clicking "Installed" we're opting into receiving these e-mails.

It's too bad that people who aren't upgrading to VB4 (and thus don't want the VB4 compatible announcement e-mails) have to ruin a good thing for the rest of us.

That was never the intention, it's just all fubared now because everyone has their own opinions of what is easier for them and no one else. I have 3.x and 4.x and I have a reason for it. I have friends and clients who have mods that are not out for 4.0 yet so why upgrade and lose half their boards functionality.

Think before you leap ladies and gents otherwise the rest of us see it as gibberish, what? I'm sorry and I said above I hate sounding that way but it's like you missed key arguments from the other side of the fence meissenation before you posted no way to beat around the bush in regards to that and to sum it up there's other factors, more than just the few you all are causing a ruckus about as to why the system should be used for updates of only that series mod.

And just to be clear, I had no problem with the notices myself what set me off was friends and clients becoming confused over it and pm'ing or emailing me with questions, no matter how clear something is... if it causes confusion then it needs to be addressed. It has and now you know what to do, look for a new mod like all of us have been for years on here by browsing and using the search up top OR bookmark/favorite the coders profile and check it once a week/month.
