We should have [attachmentcount=postid] Which will display the total downloads on one attachment.

And as well a checkbox in the Edit Attachment section that will not reset the download counter.

Not really needed, but It would  be cool knowing

You can already see how many times an attachment has been downloaded, so what would be the point of making another way?

Hmm... so you could upload a completely different file but keep the same count? I dunno about that...

What if I wanted to show on a different post the number of times an attachment has been downloaded and have it show the exact value?

Well in this case for scripts if you just upload another version you can keep a running total of the number of downloads.

Different post? Ehhh... no. The post parser would have to query the counter value every time an [attachmentcount=x] tag is encountered, because that info wouldn't already be cached.

Yeah, I see the advantage there, but for other types of attachments, it's kinda dodgy.

Anyway, it's technically infeasible in MyBB 1.2, which no longer has the "replace attachment" functionality (it now supports multiple attachments per post).
