• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Download issue

I'm getting an issue trying to download several files.

I went to download an update Milton posted in the Douglas A-20 thread ( A-20G Reflective Model for Bare Metal Paints - post #229 ) and the file appears on my computer as a .php format.

This has happened several times lately when I try to download from a thread.

It's been since I had the computer reformatted and everything was reinstalled.

Downloading from the Warbirds Library and other download sites ( Avsim & Flightsim ) there's no problem as the files are in a normal .zip format.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks,

Pete.
 
If the file is an attachment in a post, I always "save as", pick the destination, rename it, and then save it.

The key is to rename it before saving it to your directory. If you rename it as a ZIp file it will work just fine.
