    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Download issue

I'm getting an issue trying to download several files.

I went to download an update Milton posted in the Douglas A-20 thread ( A-20G Reflective Model for Bare Metal Paints - post #229 ) and the file appears on my computer as a .php format.

This has happened several times lately when I try to download from a thread.

It's been since I had the computer reformatted and everything was reinstalled.

Downloading from the Warbirds Library and other download sites ( Avsim & Flightsim ) there's no problem as the files are in a normal .zip format.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks,

Pete.
 
If the file is an attachment in a post, I always "save as", pick the destination, rename it, and then save it.

The key is to rename it before saving it to your directory. If you rename it as a ZIp file it will work just fine.
