Can't find how to update a tutorial file

[Wizards_Hat]

I had a problem on my alphanumeric display tutorial table pointed out to me (thanks Bob) which I've now fixed.

However, I can't figure out how to update the file in the downloads area.
Can someone please advise me on how to do it.
The current (errored file) is here: http://www.pinballnirvana.com/UpDownload-req-getit-lid-1940.html
& I've attached the repaired file (zipped) onto this message.

Thanks,
Dan.

Here's what I have to do to update a file at PN.

Log into the forums and I have to click on keep me logged in or when I end up in Downloads I will be logged out again.

Go to downloads and find your file. Look below at the pic, you'll see a file icon in the green circle, you will be able to click on it. This should take you to the file's download page where you can edit the file info and/or upload a new version.

This may or should be only available if you are in a trusted uploader/downloader group as I seem to be able to click on any file.

Being technically challenged, I've never figured how to upload an update to an existing file. So what I do is copy the description and make a note of how many downloads there have been. Then I delete the current file and upload the new file, paste the description, and add in the number of downloads.

Thanks for that bob, a few notes, logging in the main site with remember me checked is the same as logging in to the forums.
We used to be able to upload a new file version by clicking on the edit image

next to the d/l name but this was disabled after an upgrade. You can still change descriptions and delete the file with that link.
Wizards_Hat has just been added to the proper group.

This is currently the proper way, the original file first needs to be deleted and then upload the new one.
Wizards_Hat, let me know if you'd like me to replace the file or if you want to do it.
vpforums autolink has been fixed.

Huh, how about that, I did something technical the right way. Sure about time.

Thanks for the offer, I'll give it a go - I've posted enough tutorials that I need to be able to work out how to do it, as I'm sure this isn't the only one that needs updating - for example; I know my light sequencer tutorial doesn't work as nicely in VP9.

Dan.
