RE: [Public Beta] MyDownload Section
Yes, @polarbear541, I am (somewhat), but as I wrote in a PM the @Alexandru21, I try to look at things from the end user's perspective and not (just) my. If you think of it, most users want to think of there actions a little as possible. If you take what I wrote on no. 4, a lot of my users will try to click the border as it's the one that "pops up" to your view. It can be (and I did) change with ease as there are two(2) diferent options, in the language file, for "Download" and for "Options", so to create "Download Options" you, can, do: ' $lang->download $lang->options '.

Of two equivalent theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is to be preferred.

RE: [Public Beta] MyDownload Section
@polarbear541, OK. I "get it". I do think I needed to explain exactly where I come from when doing a beta test (Microsoft was, pretty, amazed by the amount of info I gave them about IE8). One of the problems I see a lot (on and off the web) are coders who can't think as there end users. For that matter, I took a three(3) day course by Microsoft about this exact problem and was taught to try and look as if I was the "dumbest" end user as I think will ever use my code.
Sorry that I can't take a joke (even today) but today I had to do something I hoped I wouldn't hev to, so you can imagine how I feel.

RE: [Public Beta] MyDownload Section
Testing now. Yep i like the error for chmod. But there is no error for trying to upload a php file.
Would some sort of key stating what is and what isnt acceptable be an idea. Or perhaps made it give an error with something to the effect of "We dont accept that file extension"?

RE: [Public Beta] MyDownload Section
Thanks @Alexandru21,
I see that you took my inputs very fast. I'll do the test tomorrow (probably).
By any chance, did you add the ' dir=\"ltr\" '? If not, it's ok - there are a few more edits I need to do so that the code will look fine on my forum (mostly, switch table place between buttons and text, but there are a few more things). When this plugin will be out (final, not beta), I'll send you the edited code and the lang file so you can tell Arabic forums this works (they don't need the lang file, but they are RTL based) and give the lang file as a Hebrew translation. b.t.w, if you do want the lang file and/or the edited /down.php file, even, in beta stage - tell me and I'll post them here.

RE: [Public Beta] MyDownload Section
It's to fast... I, really, didn't have time to, even, load Refresh 2.

Edit 1: ok, just started the test and it seems that all the , small, bugs are out. I would, however, suggest (because of IE) to do an IF statement to check if there is a screenshot picture or not - if not, either show a "no screenshot" picture, or do not put a picture (at all) on the page. Another thing I think that should be changed (totally if you want and when you have the time), is the way a file/item is displayed. In my opinion, it should resemble somthing close to a MyBB's post/thread.

Edit 2: The only thing (I think) needs to be solved is the "sync" between deleting an item and deleting the file inside the /download folder
