Hi everybody, this might be a topic that has been discussed before tho I couldn't find answers with search...?
Could it be possible to require that developers add upgrade instructions to each plugin in plugin section of Extend, not support forum?
It's hard to know if a plugin needs to be deleted and then install/ftp new version or if it's enough just to overwrite folder/file. Sometimes it's enough to overwrite, sometimes not. Or?
Browsing through maybe 20+ pages of discussion of each plugin is not really a good option to find out the right way to upgrade...
Oh and another thing came into my mind... maybe best to keep support and info only to Get Simple site? There are some plugins and themes which have additional information in some site outside get-simple.info and occasionally these developers' own website are not available at all (perhaps site down, no more in use).
Luckily Martin Vlcek keeps his site up 100% :-)
Perhaps a simple downloadable text/html file of this additional information would be enough so that support forum / extend contains only the essential info?
Otherwise: I just can't stop wondering why on earth haven't I used this fantastic cms before... :-)
