I have recently found that downloading holds as attachments doesn't seem to work. If I click the link, nothing happens. If I right click and Save Link As then it tries to save as "blah.hold.php?id=xxxxxx", where xxxxxx is the attachment number. If I delete the extension to just .hold it works fine, but it's convoluted and irritating. I can download all other attachments fine and I'm guessing it's not happening to anyone else. Any ideas what could be causing it? Using Firefox 1.2 on Windows XP.

Is this for every single hold? Or any one in particular? I tried a few and was unable to reproduce it. If you would, please post a link to an attachment that doesn't work.

Having it specific to just .hold files doesn't make sense to me... I don't treat them any different than other attachments.

This hold certainly doesn't seem to work for anyone, considering the 0 downloads.

A look in the database shows that that upload is screwed up - it's 0 bytes. For now, I'll just delete the attachment and PM sims5000 to see if he can try to re-upload it.

I thought it may be something to do with one of my Firefox extensions, but I've reset it to the way it was before and it's still not working. Strange thing is it does work in IE, so it must be my end not yours. Bizarre. And it's definitely all hold files, whether from holds or any other board.

Ignore me - it was an extension thing. Problem is now fixed. Sorry for wasting your time...
