This is sad. :(

My condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. I never got the chance to speak with him, or actually use this wonderful modification - but it seems like he was a great guy. Such a shame, and such a big loss.

As far as LDM is concerned, unless someone else has plans to do this, since it's marked re-usable - I would love to work on this modification. I realize there is already a version for vBulletin 4 - but maybe some work could be done on the 3.8 version (bug fixes, new features, etc.), since not everyone will be in a hurry to upgrade to vB 4.

Andrew dedicated all his efforts on the vb4 version, and usually only left older versions for support and no furthere development.

He was indeed a great person, and some of us had a chance to help him a little, still, not much.

Oh wow. I literally gasped when I read that line of the description... I'd just been thinking about the time he helped me out, and went into my setup and fixed things for me, just because he could. I can't say I knew him, but even before I read about his passing, I was thinking about what a genuinely nice person he seemed to be.

Honestly, I don't deserve to be this sad over someone I've never had the pleasure of meeting, but... just wow... :(

I'm just really sorry to hear this.

I know you posted this months ago but I wanted to ask if you were still interested in pursuing this? As others have said, it would indeed be a shame if LDM died. My dependence on it is one of the reasons I'm not planning to ever upgrade beyond vB 3.8.

I've run into a small problem with LDM. I'm using it on a vB 3.8.4 installation. When an IE user signs in to my forum without checking the "Remember Me?" checkbox, they are sent to the site's sign-in page when they try to submit an uploaded file. If they check the Remember Me box when they sign in there's no problem.

This problem only seems to be with Internet Explorer. I've tested Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Netscape and none of them have this problem.

it could be down to your forums environments i.e expired passwords ro a custom feild in the users details/options that needs to be filled in?

I don't think so. I've tested this with two standard user accounts (and old one and a new one) as well as my own admin account. Same bug manifests in IE for all accounts. No bug manifests when using any other browser with any other account. No problem with posting to existing threads or creating new threads. But the user gets signed out when they try to upload a list if they didn't check the "Remember Me?" box when they signed in. This is definitely an IE related bug in LDM or at least a problem with my installation.

If you are using LDM then try it yourself. Sign into your forum using IE8 without checking the "Remember Me?" box and see what happens when you submit a file for upload. If you don't experience the bug then it's something wrong with my installation. If you do then it's a bug in LDM (or something wrong with both of our installations - which seems an unlikely coincidence).

I did as you ask, logged out, logged back in without remember me, i downloaded a file no problem and created an entry and uploaded a file no problem, i didn't get redirected at all, i could export my product and you could upload and overwrite to your site and see how you go? (you would need to export your product first so you can revert later)

Im not experiencing this issue either. I am on vb3.8.6
Could it be a hack conflicting?

You can also consider to add a hack to activate the remember me box at all times.

I doubt that I will upgrade to vb4 anytime soon, so I'd be very happy with updates.

One thing I would be very, very happy with, is if someone would fix the vbadvanced module to show the latest files in vba. (ldm_new.php) This module adds 8 bizarre queries and adds 0.73706 seconds to page load. I'd like to display that module 3 times on my homepage. Unfortunately it brings my server down.
