for example like this:

Just automatically showing version and last time it has been updated.

Would be helpful but idk how easy it would be to show it on the site

Yes plz

im supporting this idea!

but then people would stop buying dead scripts  

Would be useful i believe they use to have it say the version, i myself for my scripts just add version to GUI title so people can see when i've updated my scripts.

+1 nothing worse than outdated script.

I can see why you think it would be useful, but here's a couple of issues I can see:

• Some scripts rarely need updating as they are reliably written to begin with, meaning 'last update' should not be used to gauge script quality
• Scripters could (very easily) push bogus updates to make the script seem more actively maintained

Didnt even think about that.

I was more thinking about the situation where a scripter pushes an update and posts it in his topic and you wanna know when its on sdn. Currently you have to start the client every few hours to check (assuming i didnt miss any other way to figure out script version)

could obviously be fixed by just having the version number if the time since last update is an issue

IMO, yeah sure they might push bogus updates but atleast it shows they're still active in the Community. I personally wouldn't touch a script if the maker hasn't been online in 6 months.

For sure! I think the best way to gauge the up-to-date-ness of a script is to have a look at the script thread and see if the scripter is active there

Will be good to see if the dev is still actually maintaining the script
