pirky Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 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 !!

Paul D Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 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. ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) 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.

britboard Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 right-click, save target as, store it where you want it, open the downloaded file directly from your pc. Simon L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
