Why I love everything vBulletin

Because of things like this email I received today from the .org wing:

Quote:

According to our records you have recently downloaded one or modifications that are not currently marked as installed.

Please take a few moments to review all your downloaded modifications and check if you have installed any of them on your forum(s).

(http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/vborg...nloaded&type=1)

If you are using any of the modifications, and have forgotten to mark them as installed, then you can do so by clicking on the blue 'Downloaded' link next to each modification title.

You can also find the 'Mark As Installed' link within each modifications information page.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications may be notified by the author whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to our attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps the author know how many people are using their work, giving them extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

A great example of an organization that is getting heavier on promoting the importance of upgrades and security. Other developers of web applications need to follow their lead.
