Heres an idea probably already somewhere on this thing, but i have not read through all of the topic so here it is:
An Auto Update feature that automatically downloads the newest version of DP if a new version is released and you start an old version of DP. This could be done when y00tz's message idea is displayed, which means connecting to some sort of server, it also checks for a variable that determines if a new update is available. if so, then using a preferably HTML download system updates the user's DP files. This could solve the problem of having people with different builds all connecting to a server.
Tell me if you like this idea, if it needs revising, or scratched all together.

EDIT: + 1 to y00tz's message idea
