It would be a good idea to have it there in order
to see if it will be an upgrade or just the same
that you already have.

There are more universes out there, not all have that feature.
And I do not upgrade with the automatic upgrade procedure,
I prefer to do it manually - it is just a useful information
and there's no reason to keep it secret

what are you talking about ALL universes have that
there it has been there for who knows how long.
other than that it may be a good idea but you can
still look throguh the universe options

What the heck is your problem with having 3 numbers
on that page? It is part of the product information
and should be there!

Not all universes offer the latest browser for download
and sometimes I tell people to upgrade from AW's download
page who do not visit the AW universe - and they want to
know what they download. The browser does not suddenly
appear on all universe download pages just because AW
publishes a new one - it is not magic but has to be done
by someone and if no one does it it WILL NOT be done - so
it is NOT a feature of the universe server to announce
every browser update that AW has.

ok in every universe is a settings option. whoever
runs the universe sets that to the highest browser
the server will work with. for example there are
many 2.2 universes out there so they set their
universe>>>options>>>latest browser attribute
this then tells you the latest browser that will
work with that universe
whatever is in the latest browser in the aw
universe is what youll be downloading

and they dont take time to update:
when they change it anyone who is in/logging in
the universe with a lower browser will get an
upgrade message
when you upgrading you are downloading right OFF
OF their site

there is nothing worng with saying what build
number youre downloading on the site but i doubt
aw will do it cause its usless

and if you want to know what build you HAVE (not
just what is the latest that works for the
uniserver youre logged into) help>about
this tells you your citizen number in the box but
the build number is the second line of text on
that window

put it on the page becuase new users dont need to know the version...

It costs money to upgrade a galax/uni server, you don't just flip a
switch and do a little dance.
