What this is and does
LDM is a general-purpose link and file manager, which handles user uploads and downloads in a flexible way. A range of media players is integrated into LDM and others are included as plugin extras. LDM is described below in the first post of this thread, which also contains a brief list of the currently-known bugs.
This release of LDM works correctly with all VB versions 3.6.x and recent versions of vbadvanced.
Andrew in the Adminster/Statistics page, I get a message at the bottom:
This is the setting advised by the optimisation bods on vBulletin.com.
What is considered a normal value?
15 seconds is not necessaily bad - but when sites offer very large files for downloaded, I've seen situations where the connection to the database is being disconnected before the transfer has completed. This value is being flagged by LDM when it's less than 1 hour, even though that would normally be an unnecessarily high value.
I think the default setting is something enormous.
-> select menu item Show -> reveals drop down - select What's New
This works fine for me whatever styles I select. But you've got your styling instructions set up in LDM so that any *show* or *search* command is going to go back to the *Default Style* style
No, that's not the sequence I'm talking about. When you go to http://oops-hq.us, you get the vBA portal. At the bottom of the center column is the "What's New" listing--which ONLY drops down from the default style--on the portal page.
As for this--"But you've got your styling instructions set up in LDM so that any *show* or *search* command is going to go back to the *Default Style*" -- how do I change that?

Sorry about that - misunderstood you.
I think you'll find that the "adv_portal_custom_ldm_new_one" template has not been installed in all your styles. I don't have access to that part of your admincp, so I can't check. Not sure if this was my mistake or yours - vbadvanced is not something I use on a day to day basis. Simply go into your main admincp, and copy the template over to the other styles.

LDM can be told to use specific styles or to use the current default. This can be done at the LDM admin level or per category. Whatever you tell it to use, the instruction is inherited by all child categories, unless they have been told to use something else. Does that make sense so far?
In setting up your LDM, you've set the main admin style setting(LDM/admin/settings/default_style) to the one you've called "Default Style". Consequently, LDM will use this, regardless of what the user selects.
If you want LDM to follow the user's choice and the general site default, then set LDM/admin/settings/default_style to "Use default"
Andrew, that all makes perfect sense! Thanks so very much! I'll take care of all that ASAP. Thanks again--I can only echo what so many others have said here: You go above and beyond any user's reasonable expectation, and it's greatly appreciated.
