Hi, the thread in question is this (I’m the original poster, moth3r collaborates with me on some addons). I’m not sure I qualify as “normally active on the forum”, since I mostly just respond to questions & suggestions in the threads about my addons, and post news about the updates.
The original post was made for the Blender 2.5+ version of the addon, but I managed to port/rewrite it for Blender 2.8+ only recently – so, understandably, since the release of Blender 2.8 that thread received virtually no activity.
Making a new thread (and bumping the old one to notify the old users about the update) seems okay in this case, but Fweeb’s idea about “allow OPs to edit their thread starters” would be pretty useful in the more general case.
