Not sure - flvs and xmls are working fine for me with both IE7 and Firefox. Can you explain a bit more?

Hi Andrew another problem I'm afraid, one of my Moderators has just advised that the downloads are not working.

I've just tested one:

http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/loc...d=8&linkid=167

When the link is clicked upon it opens:

http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/loc...catid=8&id=167

And a blank page appears, but no download.

Any ideas (once again)?

Self fixed

I'd forgotten to add in the Extras for additional MIME types....

Apologies for the false alarm!

I must be missing the obvious How do you setup a link for your visitors to access the manager?

I guess Ill check my settings again, its strange, I click the link in IE7 and it just downloads it instead of playing the video.

On another note, in the category description, when I type in a link using html it seems to count the characters in the html and breaks the line because its too long, vbulletin doesn't seem to do that itself, so I think maybe its just a bug.

Thanks

Thanks. There may be just a couple more in the final release.

May I take a look at your site myself? Sometimes these things are browser/cache dependent, but if there's a real bug, I want to get rid of it.

You mean that you are including a url as raw html in the category description? You are using the word_wrap setting?
