Currently the Recommended Version information is under the Contents header at the very bottom of a map's info section, which has a tendency to be buried underneath the images and walls of text providing information on the map, resulting in people asking which version they need in the thread.

Moving/displaying the version information at the top in the same box as the download button could help people know which version they need before downloading a map.

In the same vein, having the version information displayed in the map listing (alongside the filesize and download button) could be useful.

What could work is instead of

this:

Of course that won't help bundles too much unless you can make a scroll bar there like so:

Personally, I write the required version in red text and large font size at the beginning of the description.
I still get asked a lot why my campaigns do not work when people have version X.XX so I think it is only a few that read this.
I am not opposed top this idea, though you would have to find a way how to properly implement it for bundles that have several maps, though in most cases those should share requirements you would expect.
@Ralle can we add a text field there to the top that the author can (optionally?) fill with the version requirement Info?
