Yeah .. i don't get email's about updates either ... I just check the site daily to see if I have any updates...


Just checked settings ..
These are unchecked .. would either one have naything to do with not getting the emails??
Receive Email from Administrators
Receive Email from Other Members


And as to the topic at hand.

I choose not to use the auto updaters. 95% of my addons come from here. It take all of a few minutes of my time to open a zip file and drag and drop a folder. Doing this prevents any bad things, like updating wrong addons with older versions, from happening. I feel I have better control and I like that.

Coming here allows me to see what the addon update actually does. I don't want to say install an update and find out the author changed something causing all settings to reset. Maybe the change is not important enough for me to update yet.

Also I can see what others have to say about the addon in it's comments.

Coming here also allows me to see what new addons are out.

And finally .. with such a great community and awesome admins it's fun to just stop by and see what the daily chatter is about.
