Alright, here is something that confused me a little bit, and i thought i´d share. You know the spiffy "Downloads" Button thats available on the forum? Yes, the one that lets you download every purchased DROD Build plus Caravel Net Bonus Features like the Audio Drama.

Now, while all of that is pretty convenient and stuff, lets just assume someones CaravelNet Account expires, and he needs to redownload the purchased Executeables after a hardware crash, or whatever. He could of course mail support and get the Download Links, but why on earth not include the purchased Main Games into the Forums "Purchases" Tab? It´s working really nice for the SmS, so why shouldn´t this work with the main games aswell? This way the purchases would be secure and tied to the forum account, available whenever someone needs it. Is this a technical issue?

My idea is to use the Downloads Page only for Caravel Net Exclusive Stuff, like Audio Files and so on and leave everything else to the Forums "Purchases" tab. (Purchased SmS AND Games)

Regards

eric

Have some mods!

I totally agree. It would make it much easier for both the users and support staff, who won't need to send out any more links for re-downloads.

On this topic, I have recently purchased a MacBook, and with all previous laptops I have simply put it on a CD or Flash Drive and was done with it. That is obviously not going to work here (well, I COULD use Boot Camp, but that's very inconvenient). My subscription has expired, so how would I go about re-downloading JtrH and TCB?

I'd hazard a guess that you'll have to email support@caravelgames.com ...

The embarassing part here is how obvious it is Snacko didn't even read the first post.

Hmm... I can't remember who it was, and I can't find it, but at one point Tahnan got angry at a user for repeatedly not reading what he was replying to.

The reply was 'Sometimes I read my own posts before making them.'
