ntsmkfob Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Since the forum upgrade, whenever I try to download a file from a post, I get a Board Message saying : Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available. I've tried logging out and back in a couple of time - no improvement.

McSkywalker Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Try downloading with Backstreet Browser.

ntsmkfob Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Backstreet Browser looks a bit heavyweight for this. It must be a configuration problem somewhere. I've tried from 2 PCs on separate broadband connections, and tried Firefox and IE6. I'll create a new profile and try again.

errandwolfe Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I have had this same issue though I only use Firefox. The way I have found to work around this is simply right click on the link and open in a new tab or window.

ntsmkfob Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 The problem appears to be trying to download from posts that have been archived. Downloads from normal topics works OK.

other Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Can you give an example of where this happens? We upgraded the forum today so issues like this might be fixed.
