New Patches Section

All new updates will be moved to the Patches section.Please post new Updates directly in there.

New Updates will get sticky for 60 days. This way the latest Versions should always be ontop.

Would be nice if you could add the date to the topic to avoid people downloading "older" versions (because of a bump).

Suggestions for improvements are welcome !

Instead of 60 days, the most recent patch should always be sticky. I know it's rare, but we don't actually make a new patch every 60 days.

After 60 days the Topic will still be on top (or at least on page 1^^).
Really a shame that we cannot sort topics by date or alphabetically, would solve that issue.

My idea is to keep the "recent" updates sticky. When they are named properly there should be no confusion.

If this works out then you got the latest patch sticky for 60 days, the one before that for ~30 days and the one before that for ~5 days. Just an example.

Main problem about this system is the bumping of "old" patches for whatever reason. Already had to lock one topic because of this.
Bumping "old stuff" is getting everything out of order.

Really hope i do not need to lock everything down beside the latest patch unless i have to.

Just created a Index topic for this section.
viewtopic.php?f=85&t=4026

This should fix the "no bump" problem. Also sticky/unsticky might not be necessary. Time will tell...
