I have a problem with the pdfs in this thread
http://www.norduserforum.com/nord-stage ... tml#p37096
Firefox (linux) does not recognise these as pdfs, so it offers to save them but not open them in a viewer.
I guess that the files need to be tagged in a particular way to be opened as pdfs because firefox seems to have no problem in other sites.
Are attachments tagged correctly?

Well spotted. The web server sends them with a MIME type of application/octet-stream instead of application/pdf.

Hi,
this is the default behaviour of the phpbb forum for security reasons. But I figured given the spam control here an exception for pdf files could be acceptable. So it should now have the correct mime-type if you can try again. Thanks!
