Yes, please find my PM with site access.

Thank you, Andrew,

It would also seem that if I deny a UserGroup the ability to upload files, it also turns off their ability to upload images. Is there a way to avoid this? It would be great to allow them to upload images and not other file types.

Which file formats are of interest?

Exe, Rar, Zip, Dmg, etc.

Basically just another upload box specifically for adding screenshots would be perfect.

Is the existing image thumbnail feature sufficient? - you can upload screenshots with that. You enable this with ldm/admin/settings/link_imagesize and related settings

demo?

Ah!

It seems that if you leave it blank (to use vBulletin size) it doesn't show up.

You are the second person to report this, so there is clearly a bug which I have missed.

How do we use this as a link exchange?

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

Hey Andrew... I think I asked this like.... couple years ago (lol) and given all the add-ons maybe I just missed it...


is there a, safe or usergroup-based, way to hotlink to a file after its been uploaded?

goal: I want to hotlink the file to a mp3 player in one's profile and a jukebox player play list.


ps. keep up the awesome work as usual. still one of the best add-ons aruond

Good morning,

First, a big thank you for this wonderful module.

I have a problem with the "filter".
I have a category which includes many files (more than 20000 for some).
If you choose a filter, for example the letter "B", only the first page complies.
If you click on page 2, for example, the filter cancels ...

I tried with versions post1 and post2, and invariably the same problem.

If someone can help me, it would be very nice.

Thank you in advance.
