Hi all,

I've been thinking of adding something to the Full Releases threads here, a small note in postbit that shows whether or not the user has installed the hack (according to the database of course).

Are you in favor of this idea? If so, should it be viewable by all users or only the hack author? Please reason your opinion.

Thanks,

This is sort of like knowing who voted on a poll. Most likely it will result in less people clicking on the install button. Therefore, I say no to all of the above.

My vote is an unconditional NO.
I think it should be removed from the Hacks-section too. It's basicly noones business which hacks I have installed, but I'd still like to show my appreciation (sp?) by clicking install.

I can't see the problem in letting everyone see who's installed what hack.....

So i voted for "Yes, and allow all users see it"

However - will this add a query to showthread.php in the full releases and beta hack forum?

Mist - no.

I think it's not a crucial decision since everybody can already see who installed a hack by following the link in hack database. Eg.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...threadid=46679

So it should not be important if this information is also published in postbit. (Unless you plan to remove the other link too). Thus my vote is: Yes, and allow all users see it.

BTW. I believe it's important that *at least* hack author can see who installed a hack. All hacks here are free and may be the only way of "thanking" the author is clicking the install button. Hack authors should not be deprived of knowing who installed their hacks..

My 2 cents..

I agree with Logician - It will also help with providing support to members that have actually bothered to click install

Same with me here

At least the Hack Author and Mods should see it

But there is no problem to show it to all, because the function is there as logician said, it's just faster

Also i think more people would click install then, because who wants to post a supportquestion in a hack-thread and don'T have has installed in postbit

I say yes, offering support would be better as those guys above said :-|
