 * Hi
 * I used to use the file short code to link to an external file. That does not 
   seem to work in the new version. I tried the download monitor but every upload
   just sends the user back to my homepage. Is there any way to go back to the file
   ahortcode.

 * There is no link under the contact form anymore. It does not say click to download
   or anything. It is just blank.

 * I tried to add your fix to the 5.1.1 update and the update when out before I 
   could. I will push out 5.1.2 later today, and your fix should be in there.
 * Sorry about that.
