Great addition to any forum that allows uploading.

Text formatting should be bold for the "allowed extension" and it should read "allowed extensions" instead.
Otherwise, nice job!

That's a very valid point and I'll fix that in the next release as well as the styling issue(s).

If I may make a suggestion: in the screenshot you posted, there are numerous extensions allowed. Maybe style it so that "Allowed Extensions" is clickable (like the "view more smilies"), and when you click on it, it pops up a box, sorting extensions into their respective category. I don't allow many extensions, but I can imagine some boards do.

Otherwise, great MOD!

These have been taken care of and uploaded into the MODDB. Let's see if this can get validated as quickly as MODx 1.2.5 came out.

t_backoff, I don't really see the need for a pop-up. It's one more thing for a user to click just to see which extensions are allowed and I don't think they really care what category the extension is in but I appreciate the input none the less.

Fair enough. Thanks for the MOD non-the-less; it's very useful!

Thank you
