Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
JussiS Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Any idea why users can't open attachments anymore when they are using Chrome on mobile phone? Firefox is fine. Also all desktops are fine. Maybe some Chrome mobile update causes this? This have been a problem about 3-4 weeks now. Before this case there were not problems with attachments.

JussiS Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 Actually users can download attachments but can't open them from Chrome download folder/list. Have to go File Manager and open files from there.
opentype Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 What’s the file type/suffix? It doesn’t sound like an IPS issue, as the web software has no control over how a file is treated once downloaded.
JussiS Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 xlsx, docx, pdf... Yeah, might be browser issue 😕
Marc Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Unfortunately thats an issue with the browser you are having. If it can be opened when downloaded using other browsers, the file itself is clearly not the issue
JussiS Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 Am I the only one who is asking this? 🤔 I have three Invision hosted community (all 4.7.5) and all of them have this same problem. Then I have also two selfhosted community (both 4.7.5) but there is not this problem. Maybe somebody can test with Invision hosted community?

If you have an issue with your phone and our software, it would indeed happen everywhere for you. Unfortunately however, this is an issue browser side or it would be happening on all browsers. I'm answer to the question however, this is indeed the first time I have seen such a report.
JussiS Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 Ok... maybe we just wait fix/update to some of these components. There is tens of users who has reported this and it's very easy to replicate. Thanks!

JussiS Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 Hard to accept this solution 🙂 Can you explain why all other sites works fine? We can face problems only in Invision hosted communities.

We can face problems only in Invision hosted communities. Because the browser doesn't like something that we are doing with the software. The same argument of course could be made the other way around. Why do all other browsers work and its only chrom on mobile devices with an issue?
