In the 6th post in the thread above, there is an attached bmp. When I try to view it, I get a screen saying I have insufficient privilages/have possibly been banned. I've viewed attachments before, and I don't think I've upset the powers that be, so why can't I see it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

Yes,Greg,though it says "dextercioby,...",it appears not to have a clue who dextercioby really is :-p

Yeah same here. Log out and then you will be able to view it. Or log out and then log back in, I think that might work. I had the same problem with an attachment a while back.

Logged out and back in, and still nothing.
 
Did you try just logging out, and then trying to view it (while logged out) ?
 
Just did. I can see it fine. Thanks.
