I'm guessing seeing as I also received the said message (and another) after the XOOPS christmas message that a message list was created (at x-mas -at- xoops.org) and was left open so all replies will forward through to everyone on the original list. A tad annoying to say the least.

Upon checking the message from the XOOPS team I noticed the footer:

This message is sent to you by the XOOPS Core Team (www.xoops.org). It is NOT a SPAM message. You receive this e-mail as a registered member of the XOOPS.org community. This is a one time e-mail. Your e-mail address has not been disclosed to any third party.

It may well be a one time email but if the address accepts replies then it won't be will it?

A somewhat modified version of wmpDownloads, as I wanted a downloads mod with group permissions, but couldn't get mydownloads rc1 working as well. Added uploading, and a more secure method to prevent unauthorised users viewing files (i.e. uploads moved to a file off the web root and then passed out to client via php allowing no one to guess at a files location). Also changed a few other bits and pieces about the mod to make administration easier.

I'm currently writing a mod thats a bit specialised (and I won't go into detail unless anyones interested) so that'll be used as well, other than that just the standard forum and faq modules.

I did something along these lines recently, although I customised wmpdownloads (and added the uploader to it). Basically my approach was to upload all files to a directory off the web folder and then when a file was requested (and verified that the user can download it according to group permissions) I've got some php to retrieve the file and output it, I can't remember where I found it so I'll just post what I used:

$dir="<path to uploads folder>";
$file=$dir.$url;
<any other headers you want to use>
header("Content-length: ".filesize($file));
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"".$logourl."\"");
readfile("$file");

I've taken quite a simplistic approach in that each file is saved to disk with it's id ($url above) and the original file name ($logourl) is saved as an attribute in the db that admins can edit if they choose, then it's just output with the filename when the download is requested.

According to Symantec it's part of their ad blocking features:

Under Edit Account, set Comments Display Mode to Flat.

On that point I was wondering what's the difference between nested and threaded (I guess it only applies to Comments not forum posts?)

Actually those will be functions that Symantec software adds on it's behalf to pages you view. I'm guessing you're using Norton Internet Security as that's known to add this. So there's not actually any identical code just NIS is adding extra code to pages you view. Do a google search on "function SymError()" and you'll see many others have found this.
