• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

To all,

Please stop using commas in the file name when you upload under any circumstances. There’s no problem in the description or even the title, but if it’s in the file name, Google Chrome and FireFox don’t like it, and the file won’t download properly.

It’s the second time in a week. :banghead:
 
Interesting since the file name is supposed to be the same as the zipfile name. Maybe a typo when entering the zipfile name and hitting the wrong key. Aside from that it seems the file wouldn't download at all since it wouldn't be recognized. Curious.

Ed,

Often they are, but there have been a couple of instances in the past week where people have inserted commas into the filename. If you leave the "rename" section blank, it will use the "name" listing by default. But it has been an issue on occasion, and when I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off between work, grad school, leg bandage changes, and the fatherly duties of herding and managing four kids, the less complications I have in my life, the better. :encouragement:
