An automatic e-mail is a very bad idea IMO, esp for text edits - I often have to tidy up or edit the post on some hacks. Also, not all file uploads require an update to be sent out. Imagine e-mailing 2000 people because of a typo in the instructions !! - The process should be manual.
Ideally, I'd like to see something like a mouseover text box showing the date/time of when a hack was updated so I don't need to open a thread just to see that it was last updated in 2005. Also, I dunno if the option exists (since I've yet to release anything), but is there a way to disable the "edit" function so that when an author updates a hack due to a typo or something minor, it doesn't show that the hack itself was updated unless the other specifies that it is.

A hack only shows as updated if a new file has been uploaded since you clicked install. Editing the post does not change it's status.
maybe in the future, there may be more details on your userpages, but right now it will stay the way it is, and paul mentioned the best reasons :shocking: ^^
