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.  Wink

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.
