Richard Davey stills maintains the website, so emailing him directly would be the best way of requesting any changes but if just one person emails him, then I am sure it would be ignored as just a whim. However, if what I have outlined below is something that you think would be handy then register your interest here. If on the other hand it is just me that wants it, then I won't bother Rich with it.

The order history page. Here is my entry for DarkPhysics:


As you can see, there is an 'Order Date' and a 'Sent/Status' date then a list of six DarkPhysics downloads. The problem I have is that I have no idea which is the latest version of DarkPhysics (I know an update is available, but which download?)

So, what I would like to see (if Rich can do it) is a change to the 'Sent/Status' column to reflect:
1) When each download was made available
2) Whether or not it has been downloaded
3) If there is an update available (ie. you've downloaded an older version)

Something like this:


If it is possible to do this then I think it would be a great idea but is it just me or would others find this usefull?

If enough people want it then perhaps I will point Richard Davey in the direction of this thread and see what he says.

That would be quite handy actually, i wouldn't mind notifications on when an update is available, i didn't know about beta 1.03 for months and the same with beta 1.02.

Looking at my own order history, it's not been a problem until Dark Physics came along. I think that at the very least, the entries should be listed in the correct date order - whether forward or reverse doesn't matter as long as we know which.

So, yes. I agree in principal that we need something.

I was hoping for a better response.

I'll bump this for now but if it falls off the front page without any more replies, then it is obviously not a popular choice.

Hi, email Mike on this, he's doing a lot of the web stuff now and might be able to sort this.
