I wan't aware there was something a user could post on arfcom, that would automatically start downloading something.
Is there an example thread where this is happening? |

There's currently a post in the ammunition forum with a link that forces a download of a .pdf There have also been posts in GD that merely opening the post forces a download. |

If your browser doesn't have the appropriate plugins or configuration to view a PDF, it will attempt to download it.
Standard behavior. |

Of course it's going to download it. You're clicking on a link to a file. I thought you were looking at a thread that automatically started downloading files, without you initiating it. |

Now on my android, it used to be that I could only view embedded youtube vids by opening them in a link, as of late I can view them within the forum but links actually start downloading them to the device. Did the forum software change on this? . |
