There are a couple of mods I thoroughly enjoy that are only hosted on the LSPDFR site. Two for example, are Arrest Manager and Traffic Policer by @Albo1125. Albo updates these mods frequently. The problem is, there is no way to see when these files are updated on the LSPDFR site, besides visiting each file's page and checking the changelog. Whatever systems are in place for this to be possible simply don't work, and with the new website update, the "manage followed content" page (which previously listed all the files a user follows and shows when they were last updated, e.g. 'Yesterday at 3:36PM') is now also useless for seeing file updates.
 
There are two theoretical ways a user should be able to follow file updates:
Via the "Follow this" button.
This feature was around before the recent website update. This should either send a daily digest with any file updates that day or an immediate email whenever a file is updated. However it simply doesn't.
What it does do, is update users on every time another user comments on a file they follow. For anyone who has no interest in the comments on files, the 'Follow This' button is useless. In the notification settings, I have all notifications and emails turned off, except "A file I am following is updated with a new version" which has both the 'notification list' and 'email' turned on. Instead of getting exactly that, followed file updates, I only get a daily digest of the comments on the file.
If I wanted to have an email sent to me immediately when a file is updated, I would choose the 'Send me:  A notification when new content is posted' option. This option is unavailable (and greyed out) when a user's notification settings are set to ignore the 'Someone comments on something I follow' option.
 
With a custom Activity Stream
In the new site update, the 'activity stream' was introduced. I can see that, in theory, a user should be able to create a new activity stream that has the following filters in order to receive updates on files:
Show Me: Content items only As opposed to 'Content items, comments and reviews'. This filter should show only the files themselves, and none of the comments Content types: Files Follow status: Only content I follow This should produce a list of files in order of their most recent update (with each files listed multiple times showing their previous updates in order), however, the list produced shows each file only once, and in the order they were first uploaded to the LSPDFR website.
 
Files and modifications to LSPDFR and GTA V are a huge part of this website and this community. It's unreasonable to expect users to have to jump through hoops however often just to see if their favourite mods have been updated, and this makes for an entirely negative experience every time I use the LSPDFR website. The only reason I use this site as opposed to a site like GTA5-Mods (which has perfect and extremely simple notification system, although they don't provide notifications via email) is because there are files hosted only on the LSPDFR site.
In my opinion this feature should be a core part of this website and if it works correctly I imagine it would be utilised by all users.

You're barking up the wrong tree here. IPS are the developers of the forum software we use, it'd be great if they could add some of these really simple features. It's not the job of our site administrator to hack the forum software to suit our or our users needs.

Hi,
 
Have the CVPI's that were in the screenshot that was posted with ELS 7 been released? If not, will they be?
Attached is the screenshot I'm referring to:
