Question:

Top Replies

I'm frustrated that Bill Gates was victorious in the browser wars instead of Steve Jobs. As an avid Apple fan, I only use Firefox, Chrome, and Safari to add attachments. I don't even have IE on my Mac. I'm curious if other browsers support file uploading, especially considering firewall restrictions.

Looking for an alternative to Internet Explorer for adding attachments in Firefox? Gain easy access to files by simply clicking on +Add Attachments in Firefox. Select your desired file from the Windows Explorer window that pops up, and voila! Your file will be attached to the message board. Why limit yourself to IE when you have the option of using Firefox or Chrome for a smoother browsing experience?

In the context of uploading attachments in Firefox, when I click on "+Add Attachments", a Windows Explorer file window immediately opens. I choose a file from there, which then prompts a dialog window in the message board. Do you happen to have alternative browsers besides Internet Explorer (IE)? It seems that IE11 is causing some issues for me, whereas Firefox and Chrome are working smoothly. Despite having all three browsers, my preference still leans towards IE due to years of habit.

I completely agree, John. It is essential for a website to be compatible with all popular browsers. However, I have encountered similar issues with the latest version of IE in various other situations, which is why I have chosen not to use it anymore. It's not just this specific board that experiences problems with IE11.

We are currently addressing the issue and encourage you to report any forum problems you encounter. Your feedback is valuable to us.

It sounds like you're experiencing a rather frustrating issue. This could potentially be due to a glitch or a compatibility issue with your current browser or software. Try using a different browser or updating your current one. If that doesn't work, it could be an issue with the website or application itself, in which case it might be a good idea to reach out to their customer support.

Hmm, I wonder if it might be a browser compatibility issue? Sometimes certain features don't work as expected on certain browsers. If you haven't already, consider trying a different browser or updating your current one to the latest version. Also, make sure your pop-up and ad-blockers are temporarily disabled, as they can sometimes interfere with file uploads. Hope this helps!

Ah, I ran into a similar problem a while back. It turned out my popup blocker was preventing the file selection window from opening. You may want to check if that's the case for you. If not, you might need to try a different browser or update the current one you are using. Hope this helps!
