Version user is using in profile

When someone makes a post in a modification and says that it is working or not working, you never know what version they are running unless they state it. It would be nice to have that in the users profile so we could see if it something worked for them, what version they are using of vB.

It is in the user's profile. You've listed that you are using 3.6.11. However, you are assuming the user actually keeps that field accurate. I know when I upgraded to 3.8, I forgot to change that field for a few months.

If I post some CSS and don't say where it goes, put it in the additional.css template.

Or they put anything at all! I think it should be mandatory... And it would be nice if it showed in the postbit, but that's not necessary I guess. (Just make things go a little smoother)

You could also post something in your announce post that says "If you leave a comment about this modifications working, or not working, please list your version of vbulletin also."

Your vb version (assuming you keep it up to date) is already in your profile and your postbit, so Im not sure what this is asking about ?

It isn't in your postbit. The version in the postbit in the mods forums is the version of the modification you last downloaded, not the version of vbulletin you put in your profile.

The profile field should be a dropdown with a range of values... 3.5.X, 3.6.X, 3.8.X, 4.0.X, etc...

If you want to know why look at the value I have for mine. Not exactly helpful.

No it isnt, in the mods forums you have vB Version and Version (which is the mod version).

Yes, I tend to agree, its simply always been a text field, and no one has ever suggested otherwise (until now). Not sure off the top of my head how easy it would be to change it now (or even if its worth it).

I don't see anyone in this thread with their vBulletin version in their postbit

vbulletin is constantly changing - new versions are out more frequently

IMO it's not needed.

most people will ignore option or never update it

The confusion here would seem to be because of a difference between the postbit and postbit legacy templates - apparently its only in the legacy version now, I wasnt aware it had been removed from the other template.
