[wp-hackers] Plugin Compatibility Stats

[Michael Clark]

What I did to help troubleshoot was add a small snippet of code to the 
bottom of my plugin's code that reports out the php version, mysql 
version, WordPress version, theme name and version, plugin version 
number, and number of categories. The plugin is 
http://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/ . While I 
still get a lot of bug reports without their system details, it is much 
more easy for me to give help when I ask for that info and explain 
where it is. And then I can a bit more easily figure out problems. Mike
