I actually agree with you myself Boofo .. I would love to keep the install switch on, if not for the fact that when I click on the button to find al installed hacks, it bringing up things I no longer have installed ....
Ya see to me this is Thanks Vs Usefullness. Untill you just mentioned it, I saw the install button as one a usefull tool for myself to use, as I can see which ones I`ve already looked at and installed.. And two, a usefull tool for the coders to see who and more to the point, how many users are using there hack. At the end of the day this is a forum, I would rather say thankyou for a hack within a thread, than click an automated button (just a personal opinion).
But the point is, regardless of which you use it for, whether be for thanks, for usefullness, or just for the hell of it, the addition I suggested is only an idea for an addition to this. At the end of the day you are saying that I should not click uninstall because it means I`m removing the thankyou, however this is not what it says, it says uninstall, and this is what I took it as being. If I am wrong in this I appologise.
EDIT:- I have done a couple of searches, literally only a couple, to see if I can see a thread that states what the install/uninstall button is for, and cannot see one.. I therefore thought it may be in the FAQ .. not there ... It`s only reasonable to assume I am not the only member who thinks that the hack is to show yourself and the coder, what is and isn`t installed. Don`t get me wrong, the hack is excellent as is the forum, just I feel it is portraid (spelt very wrongly I know LOL) in the wrong way. I would have no way of knowing that this is a 'thankyou' type hack. I honestly thought it was more a tool, for both coder and user.
Just for the record, I have not yet had the need to click uninstall due to a major upgrade as of yet, as I was not a member during vb2, was mearly stating what I would personally do.
