There's a new Custom Profile field here at vB.org - vB Version.

Please enter your vB Version, so that other members know which vB Version you are referring too when asking questions. :)

You were probably busier with other things;)

Also, wouldn't it be better with a drop-down rather than input box?

Yeah I agree, a drop down would be better to prevent abuse of the feature...

Could it be a required field too?

Because at the rate Betas and RCs and future versions will come up, it will be very hard to keep up. Remember, we can only have 30 options... who knows how many Betas and RCs will come out - we've already have 6 Betas... ;) Plus all the 2.2.x versions out there. :) That's why...

ah i always forget about that 30 options...
hmm, maybe i'll hack that up in future, or we should just put in recent vb-versions, who knows.

for now it'll stand as it is.

30 options? Is that a vBulletin limitation?

If you want, you can use dropdown with the option to allow member to enter custom values.

Here's the options using in vBulletin.com:

<select name="field6" class="bginput">
<option value="0" ></option>
<option value="1" >1.1.x</option>
<option value="2" >2.0.x</option>
<option value="3" >2.2.0</option>
<option value="4" >2.2.1</option>
<option value="5" >2.2.2</option>
<option value="6" >2.2.3</option>
<option value="7" >2.2.4</option>
<option value="8" >2.2.5</option>
<option value="9" >2.2.6</option>
<option value="10" >2.2.7</option>
<option value="11" >2.2.8</option>
<option value="12" >2.2.9</option>
<option value="13" selected="selected">2.3.0</option>
<option value="14" >2.3.1</option>
<option value="15" >2.3.2</option>
<option value="16" >3.0.0 Beta 3</option>
<option value="17" >3.0.0 Beta 4</option>
