It is pretty easy to create your own forum-list:

http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/se...de=ID1,ID2,ID3

exchange the IDx with the forum-ID you want to include in your search

http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/se...70,171,172,173,
for example

How to get those IDs?
Take a look at the links, the ID is always included. For example:
Help on Development - MediaPortal Forum

Link would be:
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/se...new&include=40,

to exclude instead of include use:
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/se...new&exclude=40,

finally bookmark your search and voila, you have your own little custom search

cant follow you, the repo has the ability to order by downloads, everyone can choose what order he likes to see:
Order By : ID | File Title | Downloads | Submit Date | Submitter

cant really think of an easier way than writing the description via WYSIWYG-editor, add a title, forumlink and use the upload box to submit the file. Thats it. Editing is just opening the detailpage and click on 'update submission' to reupload the file or change the description. Can you please enlight me how this can be improved?

High - You are so correct and I am so wrong regarding (1) - I guess my eyes were no in focus when I wrote that post. Regarding (2) - the only reason I wrote that is because it seems so much easier for skinners to make updates and comments about their work in a forum than in the repository (I said that tongue-in-cheek) and that only makes the thread even longer than it needs to be and harder for people to find files
