Version Emulate Dropdown

IchBin™:
How does it defeat the purpose of mod versions?

Spuds:
The change depends on the mod version tag(s) in the package, it simply gets the next closest install version if the correct one is not found.  If there were no longer any version tags, it would not work.

This is simply one way of saying / showing "this mod is not for this version of SMF .... do you want me to try and install it anyway?"  Of course we all know that even if its for the same version it may not install anyway, especially if its not a hook based mod.

In the end its all to try and help folks from having to guess at what version to enter in to the emulate box, when they can find the box or figure out the version :P

Hmm, it makes more sense when explained that way.
