Works fine in Vivaldi

Perhaps I needed to log in - although before doing that, in  Firefox and Vivaldi all attachments came up with the tag against them "You do not permissions to ..."

I'll close down the PC sometime and look again  - which is almost the first thing I do every morning to see if Alfred pas  paased some literary gems.

I’ve just tried a different browser, where the following message shows against each of the attachments in this thread:

I'm back to Opera, my default browser, Both PDFs now open with no trouble!

I don't know whether it's something unlikely such as needing to have been downloaded once before (via firefox)
I shall try one more browser - I have Chrome somewhere.

Sorry, as Alfred diagnosed correctly, the knob on my time machine has slipped. Comes of using metric threads instead of good old BA.

I've moved to Firefox, and I have no trouble in opening th pdf.

In fact, before I logged in,into Firefox, it was telling me I had not got permission to download ANY of the attachments.

Seems there is a clue in there . .

Good news, Jack! Thanks for the update.

No.

What’s the matter, William? Haven’t you heard of time travel??

BTW re your post of 13.17.01, I was aware of this. I am wary of inserting text inside the brackets, as the font is small - while  big enough for normal reading - and the cursor tends to go in the wrong place and has to be nudged into position.

If you double-click on the word ‘quote’ in the opening tag you should find that it becomes highlighted, allowing you to overwrite it with quote=username.

to Alfred:

Are you able to download the last post 16.22.54?

It always says download blocked,

I'll try another browser

Yes, the link works fine for me. And it obviously works for others, too: before I clicked on it I saw

This again has the message download blocked

It's a pdf size 216.47 kb

Before I press the ‘Choose File’ button I see “no file selected”. When I press it and browse to a file, I see the filename without the path, and when I press ‘Add file’ it gets uploaded. At that point I see the filename as a clickable link, followed by the file size and the words “file has never been downloaded”.

Thanks for confirming it should pick up the filepath itself. Before I try any more, I'll just comment on the above.

It's exactly what I do, but (a) you have used a.png as a sample, and I have no problem with those.
(b} I wonder if my file is too big, or somethings else. As I said, in one manifestation its download was blocked.

I'll have another go ; first one I know works, then a small pdf, then a bigger file.
