Not really. What you're saying there is:

vBulletin protects privacy through not discolosing if you downloaded a modification to the author as long as you 1- don't post in the release thread and 2- make sure you have ticked 'do not recieve email'. If you have posted in the release thread and allow members to email you through the site - you have a teeny weeny risk that someone is going to add you to their chritmas card mailing list.

Considering that you can only send 1 person at a time an email - you're in for the long haul and you should start at Easter.

You can only argue the privacy thing if it is enforced across the board (which it isnt - therefore it can't matter THAT much).

To me, being able to see a history of downloads is a help for support issues(and something I rely on at thevbgeek.com) to a degree it also protects intellectual property.

BTW: I have been tinkering with this already. However I seem to recall that there was some possible discussion about a third party app for this system.

Can we get an idea if its worth spending any time at all on it or not? If it's worth investigating, then I'd like to post some stuff in the coders forum to see if it will help get the ball rolling with some other coders.

Thanks!
