Question

Thanks Sherry. I thought left clicking would solve it but right or left clicking a .not attachment still produces the php. I have no other problem with .not file associations on my pc.

Hi,

For quite some time now, I am getting the .php extension instead a .not extension, on downloading a .not attachment. This is so in W7 and W10.

Thanks for that Herbert. I've tried altering one or two script settings but nothing worked. Its easy to alter a file extension... but it shouldn't be necessary!!

Hi guys,

Hmmm.... this has got to be a setting in the browser or some extension/add on somewhere because I (and many others ) only get a .php tailed filename if we try to use the right-click tell-it-what-to-do method, which saves the "script" (which does fetch the file, but names the file a script).

What browser(s) are you guys using? Do you have any extensions/addons for downloading on them? (eg. a special download manager or such?)

ttfn,
Sherry

I use Internet Explorer 11. I have reset all advanced settings to default and still cannot get .not file to open or save except as a php file . I then need to change the extension to .not by hand. Martin.

I am on Internet Explorer 11, as is.

Hi guys,

This seems to be an Internet Explorer "thang" (I personally shy away from IE and prefer Mozilla's Firefox).

I went looking in the vBulletin user forum (our forum software), and according to the developers, Internet Explorer 11 has a bug where it does not correctly name a file when a php script is used to fetch the file - it ignores a header which specifies the filename and type. No idea if MS will fix it sooner or later (or at all). I tried Internet Explorer 8 on my one machine and the download worked fine - no "php" extension.

So sorry guys - nothing we can do here. And have I mentioned lately how much we love Microsoft

ttfn,
Sherry
