      I think the hack attack from a few weeks ago really messed things up...

        I think so, too. It's like the website is on "run home" mode (I had a car where the computer failed and switched to run home mode, that was seventy miles of suck). I'm sure Aneurysm is doing his best to fix this, though.
        On a lighter note, it appears Adobe Acrobat attachments (pdf) work if you download them. And for some reason Dropbox attachments work for me if I open them in a new tab/window. If you want to try that make sure that your antivirus system is up to date first, while the vast majority of people here are good people, this is a world wide website. Some nincompoop took the time to hack Copytechnet for some reason, after all.

          If the attachment is in the form of a link, downloading works for me. I had one person where their pad device wouldn't download. Had to download it and then re-posted it as file attachment instead of a link.
