Maybe there could be something on the admin page that tells the user about an upgrade without actually visiting WWG. Personally I think the forum should lockup with a security warning if there is an upgrade. That way the user will have to either unlock the forum or upgrade. It means that newbies understand how important it is. |

There is already a feature in the admin area on the main page that is for checking for upgrades. Cliecking the link will take you to a page on this site that tells you your version and what the latest version is. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| It would be a cool feature if the forum checked for updates on session start or something and if one was found send an automated PM to the admin reminding him to update |

| If they made an RSS feed for Security updates, that could be possible with XML reading. |

Yes, XML may be used or simply XMLHTTP object that may read a file stored on wwf server with version info.

yes that would work but think about -boRg- he would have xx megabyptes a month used from remote stes. the only way i can see him doing that is to make a fee payable for it. |
