Attachments to forum notes

I don't know if it is just me but I have tried on several occasions to open an attachment from a post.......most recently the PDF about checks for your outboards ...all I get is the computer language gobble-de-gook.

I have tried several ways to open this PDF all to no avail.

This has also happened with Pics and other file types when I am using google chrome.....strange

Any suggestions out there ????...Keep 'em clean please !!

If not can you e-mail/pm it to me....Ta !!

Dave,

 

I get the same problem with the pdf files. I think it is something to do with the type of file the web server thinks it is ( ie. text / binary etc. ).

I get the same problem with Moxilla Firefox.

If you paste this into the front of the URL for the image (when it's displayed as Gobledegook) it will open.

 

data:text/html,<img src='

 

I've saved it as a text file on my desktop and just copy and paste it when needed.

right-click,

save target as,

store it where you want it,

open the downloaded file directly from your pc.
