    Google Chrome Dev. version is being reported as the latest stable version.
    Betas frequently being incorrectly reported as latest stable versions is the only issue for me...otherwise an excellent program.

    In case of a beta version reported as stable version,
    right-click that item in SUMo Check results,
    and choose "Report Beta".
    This will open a new mail in your mail client to report the beta to KC Softwares.
    If you don't have a mail client installed on your computer, use your webmail to report to support@kcsoftwares.com
    After reporting as beta, the item will be manually tagged as such in the SUMo database by KC Softwares (Kyle Katarn).
    This is how beta's are flagged as beta in SUMo.

    I have used "Report Beta" numerous times...just gets a little annoying after a while.

    I think I know what you mean.
    Each time a new beta version is released, one of the SUMo users had to report it as beta and Kyle has to flag it as such. That is part of how SUMo works.
    But each new beta version should only need to be reported and flagged once.
    If that is not what you mean, but if you mean the same beta version needs to be reported over and over again, that is not as it should be. However, that is what I experience sometime, like these days with Adblock Plus for IE, as I mentioned here Tuesday and Yesterday.

    @Kyle_Katarn

    February 17, I mentioned an issue with SUMo and Adblock Plus for IE beta version 1.3.763.0.
    Adblock Plus for IE beta version 1.3.763.0 needed to be reported as beta over and over again.
    Since Saturday 14 February, when you replied per e-mail, and said "Fixed", I had to report eight (8!) more times.

    Yesterday, the Adblock Plus for IE beta version 1.3.763.0 was back in SUMo "Check" results once again (9th time), and I was ready to report as beta once more, when at the Adblock Plus website I noticed that now Adblock Plus for IE version 1.4.0.0 final was ready for download. Because of the new version 1.4.0.0, the issue with SUMo over and over coming up with Adblock Plus for IE beta version 1.3.763.0 is now resolved.

    However, the issue with Adblock Plus for IE beta 1.3.763.0 is only resolved because of the fact that Adblock Plus for IE version 1.4.0.0 Final is now the latest version. The issue that lay at the base of SUMo over and over again reporting the same beta was essentially not resolved, I think, and the same issue may spring up with following betas.

    Therefore, I still think it would be wise to investigate what was or is wrong with beta flagging/tagging that could/can cause the issue that I described. I hope you can find the cause of it and I hope you can find a solution.

    Thanks very much.

    Thank you very much.
    But the sumo_lite.exe installer was not yet updated, so I noticed.
    I downloaded and installed it a couple of times, but it still installed version 3.13.1.255, not 3.13.2.256.
    I guess you'll update the lite version later today?

    By the way, do you have a way to put the version number in the sumo_lite.exe installer?
    Now it just says 0.0.0.0.
    The installer showing a version number would be helpul in cases like this.
    Thank you very much once again.

    Thanks very much.
    I succesfully installed SUMo Lite 3.13.2.256.

    The installed program does, as it did before.
    But the sumo_lite.exe installer file version information still says 0.0.0.0

    Yes, it is different to what I see on my system.
    Could it be an OS issue?
    It's Windows Vista SP2 x86.

    You're right, my FTP client did not overwrite with the right file...
    Massive re-upload ongoing. Please retry in 5 minutes.

    Sorry for the delay, thank you for reporting and for your patience !!
