If we want to make these choices then really not.

The proposal wasn't for fullfilling the request of the reporter, its a
compromise result of some devs' opinions in the discussion of this
report (who took time to discuss this report upon my 'daily unanswered
bug' campaign).

Again, I generally don't support any hiding of the upgrade nag, but I
can accept that a situation when someone doesn't want to upgrade right
away, only sometime later, just want to use DC++, setup, several
restarts, etc... in this case the nag screen can be annoying and totally
unnecessary.

Title:
  Upgrade Dialog Should Only Be Persistent If Necessary

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently I reported this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/344833 . This was resolved
  as wont fix.

  The argument against is that new versions of DC++ introduces new
  network features. If people keep using old versions of DC++, they are
  holding back the network. My suggestion is to only show the upgrade
  dialog every time when the user is currently using a client that holds
  back the network. If the older version the user is using does not
  affect the network in a negative way, the user should be able to
  disable the upgrade dialog until the next upgrade of DC++ is
  available.

  Also, most people do not understand or read the text presented on the
  upgrade dialog. Just "Do you want to upgrade?" is way more effective.
