The category permissions are not inherited from the parent to the child. Unless you specifically set a categories permissions, it will use the global permissions.

Glad you got it working again!

This is a great plugin btw

running ok.. no problems !! BUT!!

Now i get this error when uploading to DownloadsII

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.3:

Invalid SQL:

		SELECT rssfeedid
		FROM rsslog
		WHERE itemid= AND itemtype='thread';

Still uploads and post tread... but get that sql error

Have done fresh install... but only way to remove error is to disable this plugin... any help

Great plug in. Easy question. How do you edit the text that is generated on the created post?

Want to change the "Downloads: A new file has been added by" part. Looked through the templates but I guess I'm missing it...

Search templates and phrases for that sentence, I'm pretty sure it's there somewhere.

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