Build # missing on the browser download page // WishlistananasSep 3, 2001, 5:57pm
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. -- "_ | /\ \ / __/ /_ the derekSep 3, 2001, 6:22pm
well yeah but the build number is also on universe
attributes too so you can look there. im just saying, your idea is good too :o) [View Quote] cozmoSep 3, 2001, 8:58pm

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 [View Quote] -- "_ | /\ \ / __/ /_ the derekSep 3, 2001, 9:15pm
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 [View Quote] ananasSep 3, 2001, 10:32pm
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 [View Quote] cozmoSep 3, 2001, 11:24pm
just download it from the downloader and stop being so parnoid....they dont
put it on the page becuase new users dont need to know the version... [View Quote] tony mSep 5, 2001, 12:26am
It costs money to upgrade a galax/uni server, you don't just flip a
switch and do a little dance.
