Disappearing attachments

mtravellerh · 12-13-2008, 04:21 PM

I seem to have a problem either concerning my browser or the configuration of the site. Maybe there is a bad habit I have slipped in, too.

This is what happens: I do my posting, attach my file upload it via the attachment window, make sure it is well and truly present and finish the posting of the book. Then the attachment somehow disappears. How can this happen.

I have noticed that the upload takes exceptionally long before this happens. This happened twice today and once yesterday. Any ideas?

Got a solution to my problem or at least I know where it came from.

Interested?

Well, simple, really. The attachment disappeared each time I had a second instance of MobileRead open in another window, even in another browser.

So, in short, close all your other MR windows before uploading something to MR.

Hmm... I often upload files while having two windows with MobileRead open, and never had that problem. But I'm using Opera and linux, that may be a difference.
