This is the kind of picture/screenshot that is often found in support groups.
It would help immensely if archinstall version was always printed in the error strings.
My suggestion would be marking such error messages with [archinstall 2.10.2] or a similar string to identify the version immediately.
archinstall[2.10.2]: Would you like to re-try this download? (Y/n)
I was also about to suggest a version check, but I see that @svartkanin already implemented that - thank you! #2169

I am well aware.
Unfortunately, the practical reality is that people just post pictures like the example above with no additional text, and volunteers then waste their time on getting information out of them, only to figure out they're running some old version 5-10 minutes later, instead of just telling them to update.
I do think the merged PR is a great help in this regard, and adding the version to the output on the screen would just be a nice finishing touch.
Something else I just thought about, setting a temporary alias (archinstalll-upload-log?`) that would execute the suggested upload command would be a nice touch, so people don't have to type such a long command with lots of special characters, making it more likely they do so.
Or asking them if they would like to upload their log to get a log URL directly.
Fair point, we can definitely do a version check again and show that they are running an older version.
I like the idea of providing a option to help uploading the log. Maybe when an errors appears we could have a prompt for uploading the the log file.
