You have to disable "Template name output" in vbulletin Setting> General.

Excellent mod, just one issue..

I primarily import files to DownloadsII.. When I import files, no threads are being created?

Anyone else having this issue?

Yes, that is an issue. Currently, this only works if the files are added normally. Imported files will not create a thread.

Is it possible to change the place where the Link to "Thread discussion" appears? E.g. under "Author" or "Grade" but not inside of the description.

I looked for the code in the Template downloads_file and downloads_file_addit but I could not find it.

*HELP*

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
