furthermore, ive just solved the problem and all it took was a simple template edit. meaning the mod has a bug, and its not a server setting..
in template 'downloads_file'
look for
Code:
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_add_image']}" />
right under that, put this
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
this solved my issue with users uploading images and getting a security token error.
the created of this mod failed/forgot to add this.
