So this is possibly a noob question. I have 1.7.2 I'm running and got a notice when I logged in about updated mods. They look to be all 1.7.10. Will those work with 1.7.2 or should I leave things as they are?
There is a bug in 1.7.2 version and earlier versions of bspkrsCore where the update notice shows every time due to a change in the way that dropbox public links work. The issue is fixed in the latest 1.7.10 releases, but if you're still using old builds you can just disable the update check.
