Automatically post changelog under topic (EventScripts Addon Manager)

Would it be possible to give authors the option that if they update their addon the last changes are directly posted under the topic in the board? ESAM could create a post in the database for this, maybe assigned to a user like "EvieBot" :D

Wait, it would be better if it would assign the post to the author ;)

I personally don't care much for this idea - people who update often would have a lot of different threads for the same script. I think the RSS feed for updates handles this nicer.
Edit: Although I may be able to allow editing of the original announcement post. This has been something I've been thinking about for some time.

Not therads, Venjax. Posts under the thread that already exists.

What about a bbcode in the original post that inserts all the addon description and stuff?

Yeah, I might be able to add an " announce this update" link to the update info section. - I'll look into that. (it wouldn't be automatic though, you'd have to click the link as you do for the addon announcement itself.
