Excellent mod!
I thought that all of my forum mods are up to date, but found some of them were obsolete.
Now I'm sure that everything is up to date

Love the idea behind this mod will make keeping upto date simple

thanks mick

Just tried updating a couple of mods and get the same message please see below:

Yeah it's a bug with smf's package site I have a ticket in asking to get it fixed.

[mickjav]

Can I ask for a extra feature Although I haven't been able to fully use it, It looks like it will auto update any mode which is good in a number of Circumstances.

But I have a number of modes that I edit before adding the latest version so could it if possible have a option for a mod to be able to set to update from a file on my computer Via Select File?

All The Best Mick

Currently there is no auto update. It just displays which modes need to be updated.

[mickjav]

Cool So It just downloads the update   

[mickjav]

One other thing are you thinking of adding a theme version?

[SMFHacks]

Thought about it want to see if people will use this mod checker. Little tougher as theme versions are stored theme itself not the database since they are not installed as packages.

[mickjav]

I'm sure it will be popular as save people having to remember where there mods are I.E. URL
I Can never remember.

Why not post it on SMF As they are the ones who will benefit from it 

[SMFHacks]

I did waiting for it to be reviewed and also kind of requires SMF to fix that bug with downloading packages from the customize site.

[SMFHacks]

Added SMF 2.0.x support.
