I want it so when someone uploads music they made, it'll create a thread in my "Download Updates" forum saying that there is a new file, and it'll include a link to get there and see it. And everytime the file is updated , it post a new post saying the file has been updated etc.

My problem is I cannot find out how to set it to post in the forum I want. In my Download updates forum. Any help?

Everytime try to change that value of "none" I can't change it to anything else.

The fourm menu used on these pages is built from the standard "forumjump" menu which is used throughout your vb. The master setting is built deep in the heart of vbulletin's initialisation code. The LDM admin pages only show the forums that your master setting have said should be displayed.

There are a number of ways in which a board can be set up so that forums (all forums) disappear from this menu. You can check these using vb/admincp/forums/forum manager

- Forums with a 'display order' that is set to zero will not appear
- Forums marked as 'not active' will not appear
- Forums marked as not "Show this Forum and Child Forums on the Forum Jump Menu" will not appear
- Private forums may not appear.

It is possible to trick LDM into accepting a hidden forum, but it is not very robust, as I had not anticipated that anyone would do this. Basically, you have to re-enable the forum display via the vb admin, go to LDM admin/settings, make your selection, then go back to the vb/admin and turn off the display again. But the problem with this approach is that you will lose the setting next time you make a change to the ldm/admin settings.
