DownloadsII itself is fully compatible with all 3.5.x AND 3.6.x vBulletin releases. We just put it there because most people aren't looking any more at the 3.5.x mod forums as they are running the vB 3.6.x series. This is clearly stated in the first post (font size 3, bold and in a color ).

Silly me, I was looking at the vB Version: 3.6.6 at the top of the post

Thanks, CyberRanger.
Very useful mod.

I installed Downloads2 5.0.4 with VB3.6.8.

I have little problem.
My thread have some strange code.

Title :

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: downloadii_create_newthread_ti tle --> Download Test File <!-- END TEMPLATE: downloadii_create_newthread_ti tle -->

Post :

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: downloadii_create_newthread -->
Downloads: A new file has been added by TESTER:
Download test file
This is Download test file.
<!-- END TEMPLATE: downloadii_create_newthread -->

How can remove this code?
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: downloadii_create_newthread -->
<!-- END TEMPLATE: downloadii_create_newthread -->

Thanks.

Hi, i stil have that unanswered question https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1329835&postcount=116"

So if you can do that for me pls.

Also, Since i have so many categories and child categories in downloads i am having big problem with `Always create new thread` which is set to no.

I have Whole category set to no, but when i upload files to its child categories it will make the thread. I have tried to disable creation of thread on the child and it does work.

Is it anyhow possible, if i select not to create new thread for certain category not to create new threads for any child category in it.

thank you
