A bug in attachments ?

[Drewcifer]

Something I noticed last night. I started a thread in User Created Maps -- Large North America Map (130x130). The attachment file was called North America (large). After I posted the map I made a few improvements so I went to edit the posts -- remove the old attachment and add the new. The new attachment was called North America v1. After I edited the posts the name of the attachment changed to the new one but it was still the old file when I tried to download. To test whether this was a bug I did a new post with a .jpg picture as the attachment; then I edited the post to make a map zip file the attachment. The name of the attachment changed to the name of the map file but when I went to download it I got a white screen with the picture that was previously the attachment.

Apparently we can no longer edit our attachment files without putting them in a new post.

It's a cache problem I think.

After you edit the attachment, refresh the page (F5) and it should work.

I have done what you have suggested but the problem seems to persist. The file for my North America map should be v1.1 which is what it says on the attachment link but when I download it I get v1. Could someone download the map and tell me which version they get? It should be v1.1, the problem could be on CFC's end or mine but I would like to know which.

You can't use a "." in an attachment, it never works well (especially for files you download like .zip's, not sure about pics).

Use an underscore instead, it worked for me...
