Some boards do not allow attachments, or the ability to view or download attachments that were previously posted.
The boards that have this "feature" are generally the lookup request boards. ;)

Thanks Pauline
Have tried your suggestion and it downloads as a html file called index - but file is blank.
Strange??

Hi Tristan
It is a "lookup request" board bu seem to have been able to view other attchment without any problem.
Am now baffled
Have sent message to Chris who posted - so will keep fingers crossed.
Thanks for your help.

No other attachments should be viewable in the "lookup request" boards either.

Hi : I am also having problems with gif files. Mine came from someone re census. tried everything to open and all I get is a small gif picture of a small v. Is there a program that changes the files into readable ones or does the person sending theinfo have to write everything out.
