    Hi guys

    I don’t know if I’m running the latest hotfix or not. How to tell? It would be nice if you at least bumped the version number to 2.2.1.1 or something. I downloaded the file on 6 July, but adding in various timezones I have no idea whether I got the good version without redownloading and updating all my sites again.

    Anyway, rant over. Also I downloaded forum version 3.1.5 and you forgot to bump the version number in the upd.forum.php file, so it still says I’m running 3.1.4. Think your release process needs a bit of work. Please don’t remedy the issue with a hotfix to confuse all the existing users 😉

    100% agreed. We’ll have this fixed prior to the next maintenance release (2.2.2) or fix release (though currently it looks like that won’t be necessary).
