MTF95, I don't think I will code a downloads module. But I can create a built-in block for random or latest downloads working with a mod. Also I can modify the mods you say if the author doesn't likely to do it.
cleanfiles, just curious; what's "m8"?
Drover, like the the team does; You will be able to download it when it would be ready.

I can not say an exact time. But I think I have month for coding it. For the update process; as it would be a very very deep change, it would be better uninstall the old one and install the new version I guess. And for the problem you are having; I guess you are using utf-8 encoding. I attached the file that you should use. Just install this package after you install the SimplePortal v1.1.
Manu0372, not at all Manu. And I suggest you making the blue theme as default for your forum.
Bancherd, did you change it from the Admin CP to show as views?
Thanks,
NIBOGO. Codes look good.
larrysweb, do this:
-Copy you initial index.template.php file from default theme.
-Change it with an original index.template.php file.
-Install the mod using Package Manager
-Make the changes manually in your default and specific themes' index.template.php file. (I can do them for you if you can not.)
-Upload the files you edited.
