Similar threads are determined at the time the thread is created, so old thread/mods will not have the similar threads changed to show newer threads. You can run the update counters and it may do that, but there is no guarantee (you'd have to read the code to see how similar threads are determined - it's a formula based on age of the threads, thread titles, and other things I can't remember). And no, the update counters is not run as a scheduled task.
Great thanks for answer
So next question - are you trigger Update Counters for similar threads on vbulletin.org?
Right now users which are looking for my mod functionality see that they have other choice on my mod page, but if they go first to other mod page then don't see this choice. I really don't believe that people know how tricky "similar mod" works and if someone believes that there is nothing similar he will not look for it...
And I will not ask anybody does they "ever looked at the code for how similar mods are determined" - I will even not have a chance for this (not that I really think about doing it ).
I think that actual way of working ‘similar mods’ is confusing for people. And I'm not happy about that
