Any progress on this working with Mass Imports?

Edit: Also, for some reason whenever a Download is Edited -- like the Description is changed for example -- a New Thread is created, rather than a New Post in the previous Thread. Anyone else having problems with that?

CyberRanger just seen this mod question is there anyway to have it where it will post threads for the downloads added previously to installing this mod?

After deinstalling the "Main Hack" i tried to deinstall this one, but i get a mysql error.

The easiest course of action is to import the main product file again, then uninstall this product, then un-install the main product.

Why the un-install?

That's a good idea. No way to do so now but I'll try to work up something.

yeah that would be really nice if you could come up with some kinda way to make it work that way. cause if they have like 500 downloads already and then someone need something such as support for that download it would be alot easier.

I guess the hard part is would you want it to be an all or nothing thing. If you want all downloads that don't have a thread to have a thread created, that would be fairly simple. Is that what you are looking for?

[DementedMindz]

exactly what I would be looking for.
