Yes or No.

It only takes reading one page.. any one of the 16. Pick a page, any page, and read the post at the top.

if ($lext != ".rar" && $lext != ".zip" && $lext != ".gz") {

$errors['message'] .= '<center>You may only upload .rar, .zip, and .gz</center><br>';

You can simply add more extensions by adding $lext != ".EXTENSION". Remember, add $lext != ".EXTENSION" && if your adding more than 1 extension.

Thanks for helping people out .

I'd rather see a nice message saying "Thank you, your categorie has been added" rather than "Error: The phrase 'categorie_added' cannot be found because the author was to lazy to release it so please don't complain"..

Well, thats personal preference. I rather hate mods that make me install phrases because it is a waste of my time to do so. If you would like, i'll email you the phrases for versioin 2.0 in about a week and you can make the phrases including a tutorial showing users how to add them. Does that sound fair?

Now, a note to all the users about problems uploading files. You are having trouble because you have not filled in your directories accurately or your server permissions are not set correctly. I have not seen any other problems that caused the upload errors. Everyone always comes back after a while and posts (or PM's me) saying "it works, i just had to fill out ___ differently."

I will admit, these settings are not for your junior webhost, because they require knowledge of how to traverse directories, but I couldnt help that. I wanted so very much to be able to allow users to upload to a directory outside of their forum directory (i.e. elitecoders.org/downloads/ instead of elitecoders.org/forum/downloads) but for the next release I will simply resort to forcing downloads to /forum/downloads and eliminating all user setup.

As to why I have not released or been here. Frankly, that is no ones business, but I have been busy with school, paid projects, and college visits. vBDownloads is one of the things at the bottom of my list in order of importance. That being said, I expect to make more progress this weekend, and may release a nice treat next weekend to a few beta testers. After they assure me that it works, I will release to the public.
