Hey, for a while now I've been working on my mission pack, and the one I have posted is VMP-v04. Right now I'm at VMP-v08, with two more missions attached and many bug fixes. However, I'm afraid of re-uploading it on the missions page because I will lose my downloads.
Is there a way to upload it but still keep the downloads? Or if it isn't possible, can someone hack the forums and change it back to what it once was, after I re-upload it?

Verdagon,
Just edit the original post, browse for the newer version and choose upload new version. Your numbers should not be changed.

Handmark was supposed to change it so the download count wouldn't be reset. I will see what is going on with this and report back.

Oh... okay I didn't notice the "upload new version" button. I usually just delete and create a new one.
So that's why it deleted the downloads! *smacks himself*
Nevermind then. Thanks for your help!
PS. Let's celebrate! I hit 1600 downloads!

So keith you're saying if you press upload new version it doesn't reset the stats? That would be great if so...

I can vouch for this. The first time, I deleted then uploaded - killed the stats. Second time, I just updated - stats stayed.
