Thanks

I found this occurs when clicking on the on the download link located on the page that lists a summary of the files in the category but not when looking at the detailed listing for one file.

To fix it, in downloads.php around line 300 -

FIND:

PHP Code:

    if ($db->num_rows($result) > 0)
    {
        while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
        {
            $date = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'],$file['date'],true);        
            $downloads = vb_number_format($file['downloads']); 


BELOW that ADD:

PHP Code:

            // added to open links in a new window Aug 1, 06
            if ($file['link'] == 1)
            {
                $target = 'target="_blank"';
            }
            else
            {
                $target = 'target="_self"';
            }
