| Aug 5, 2023 at 7:26 | comment | added | Destroy666 | First of all, going for "ego" notes when you're in need in help is not the best move ever. Especially when the user was perfectly right that the title was confusing. If the app name is the same as an English word that could have a different meaning when not capitalized, it's intuitive that you should pay attention to the letter casing. Secondly, any of your versions of the question lacked focus, IMO. "How to upgrade an app?" together with different questions in the body is way too broad, questions on the websites should be specific to help others. | |

| Aug 3, 2023 at 20:11 | comment | added | Ramhound | @Zohar - Your question was originally not clear, I was one of those close votes, an edit happened to your question which clarified your question. However, while I thought I retracted my close vote, I did not retract it. However, the question can be reopened, all you have to do is wait until that happens. You won't be install the service twice, you will remove the existing service, then reinstall it. You made no mention of Everything being installed as a service in your question. So I made no mention of it in my answer. Your question needed work, and it's been improved, continue to improve it | |

| Aug 2, 2023 at 23:31 | comment | added | Zohar | I'm referring to my original post, title and body. I simply asked if I need to uninstall the old version before installing the new one. I didn't think that much elaboration on the motivation is needed (installing a service twice, locked files, clattering the installed app list, etc.), but I added one example, "Would my config be preserved?" In your opinion, was the question unclear and missing details, or was it an ego issue of a reputable user who missed that I'm referring to a specific app (missing the tag and capital E)? | |
| Aug 2, 2023 at 18:26 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | When it was closed your question contained zero details of what your problem actually was with updating it or what you had tried. At that time it was definitely unclear. You currently have two votes to reopen so apparently some people think you have improved it with your edit. | |
