Under Construction or UnSupported

[DawnsWebDesigns]

I think you've read enough posts around here to know I love you software/mod/theme creators. In fact I hate shopping yet when it comes to free software/mods/themes suddenly I'm like the biggest fan or something. I do realize this takes time. I do realize you're doing this for free. And I really do appreciate it.

This is just for a couple of people who forget that while they have a couple of mods &/or themes to keep an eye on some of us are trying to plug several of both into our site in a few days time. I simply don't have time to waste on something currently under construction or completely dead with no hope of being revived.

I just moved my site & upgraded. I've been shopping again. I've tried several mods to have them not work. I come back through here & read several pages of stuff & find lil edits I try to no avail. It's bad enough but when you install a software to go with the mod & have the mod not work it's ridiculous. I just wasted half the night on such a mod the other night. So I've already uninstalled not only the mod but also the software.

I think if a mod or theme is buggy & under construction it should be taken off display 'til it's fixed versus expecting people to read through pages of stuff & attempt supposed edits to no avail. And if creators know they don't want to update or support it anymore they should either move or request it be moved to the graveyard before bailing. I've come across a few that are graveyard material but haven't been moved there yet.

I'm not sure if you can download while looking at the titles of all the threads within a board...but you can mark them installed & uninstalled. If you don't let these people move their own stuff to the graveyard it would be cool if you could add "under construction" or "un-supported" there or to the titles & let these folks mark them should they become so.

I thought I'd suggest this because I actually know some html/css & have had almost 5 years experience installing softwares/themes/mods alone. I feel sorry for the newbies who don't even know html/css much less php/MySQL/etc.

Thank you.
