    Attached File Names have garbage appended to them

    For the last several days, when I open or download an attached file garbage is being appended to the File Name.

    Is this a new feature? Is anybody else experiencing this?

    John,

    Yes this is happening to me to, I just assumed that this was the way it was going to be. Looks like an
    alphanumeric code - Thread Title - File Name.

    I just been renaming the file, but is a pain in the butt.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike

    Thanks for the response...thought I was going nuts. I've been using IE10 for some time but just upgraded to IE11.

    I had forgotten that, in IE10, I had to run the Forum in compatibility mode. I HAD NOT make that change for the Forum in IE11. Just did...seems to have resolved the issue.

    Try it...please give feedback.
