Yes but ive thought of a downside of this...

I don't normally click install unless i am familiar and have used the hack before and received support..

One thing that is annoying is for the last 2 updates for vbhome lite TECK has sent update emails out 3 times per update... i don't know if he did this accidentally/deliberately or its a bug - but its very annoying... It would be nice if when we click install there is an option on whether to recieve email updates or PM updates...

Regards

Well the reason when you click install is well there are many reasons, and one of the main reasons, is to offer support via PM or Email, you might as well not click install, and not be updated, and run the old buggy hacks. Right?

No... i only receive updates by email ... ive never seen anywhere an option to receive updates by PM...

Its annoying receiving updates when hacks are updated by the day as bugs are found...

Well I am sure, you would rather have a nice secure, and bug free board. Correct?

Hackers, are going out of there way to keep the users who installed there hacks happy, and updated, I really do not see what is wrong in them helping you keep your board healthy and enjoyable.

I think is is due to the script which sends the emails out timing out, whenever I've tried to send an update it has taken 3 or 4 attepmts for it to execute compleatly.

On topic, I feel at least the hack author should be able to see whos installed there hack like Logican said.

I think it should be a good idea to allow the hacker and forum's team to see it
