3. Option to have the thread created by the uploader or always assigned to the same user account (pros and cons of both ways)
4. Ability to track which threads where created via DownloadsII

I think this is a great idea that I'll probably spend some time with too.... but it does it complicated quickly!

It can get complicated, no doubt, but I think I am just looking for a basic thread creation for ANY file at this point by a specified user account in a specified forum. Anything above and beyond is just icing on the cake.

I think this is a very useful addon as people will be driven to the downloads area by new posts and just adds to overall interactiveness of site.

Thanks!!
