Problem
Some mods' version files have a
URL
pointing toforum.kerbalspaceprogram.com
. Now that the forum is unreliable, this sometimes causes timeouts, and the inflation warnings toggle back and forth between network errors and parsing errors.Even when the URL is retrieved successfully, it's a waste of time and bandwidth because the forum can never contain a remote version file.
Changes
Now version files with a
URL
on the forum emit a warning and move on rather than trying to retrieve the URL.
