I look at it this way. If there is a change that needs to be done, then it should be included on the first page, as a new update Version with a Date if Possible. As people looking for a Mod will look on the first page where it is normally located, not be looking through pages and pages of threads looking for a fix to a Mod. Hope that now makes sense to you. Maybe I live on a different planet to others.

That is the problem. No one wants to read anything anymore. Not all authors are able to support their mods on a 24/7 basis. They do have real lives, too. As long as the fix can be found in the thread, then that is what really counts in the long run, right?

This is completely true. A lot of people don't realize that other members tend to contribute to an add-on when the developer doesn't and you are not going to find that on the first page. It's a PITA to go through some of the 50 page threads looking for a fix but usually people ask it over and over again and someone reposts it so it is not bad at all.

People forget they get these for free. They can spend some time searching.

I followed the instructions but nothing shows up. It doesn't even show who's online now.

Not sure what I could've done wrong. :/

EDIT TO ADD: Never mind, I've just read the last few pages. (Y)

See this post and download the xml file and upload that to overwrite the one you have https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=202 and that should fix your issue, it fixed mine. Although it could be another plugin your have that might be interfering with the plugin, that has been reported as well I have seen in other posts and the vbulletin.com forum.

I do all the time, my point is, that if the product was updated in the first page with a date, it would cut down on many unnecessary posts. But then I appear to live on a different planet then. I realise these plugins are free and fully appreciate that, what I am saying is that there are a lot of unnecessary frustrated users, who might not have the skills of many others to resolve their issues and also might not fully understand what they are reading.

How long does it take to replace the product in the first page, what all of about 20 seconds. It would certainly cut down on all the posts don't you think?

Thanks to everyone who has helped on this, and the dev. Really great to have people like you, much appreciated!

Installed and running well on 4.1.1

problem is the coder isn't around to update it, and thats the only way its updated on the main page.
But at least the community helped out and provided the necessary fixes needed.
