Hi, why is it that I cannot access any attachments? It redirects to my comments page. Please advise. Also, is this the right forum for such queries?

Thank you.

Hi Anneline, can you try once more? We are working on making the downloads more accessible, even when the user is logged out. This may have been one of the errors, and I think it's fixed. Kindly check and let us know.

Can you please try once more? We are making downloads more accessible to logged-out members. This was possibly an error during the development process.

Hello Anneline, I hope you are no longer experiencing any issues with accessing attachments after the intervention of Mr. Sid. Could you assist me in finding the answer to the following question?

How to Determine the Right Forum for Your Queries

How can one determine whether the place, people, or forum where they are seeking answers to their questions or queries is the right one before asking? This is a personal question for you, and I would greatly appreciate your insights on this matter.

Hello Anneline, hope you are not having any problem with accessing attachments after being initiated by Mr. Sid. Could you help me with discovering the answer to the following question: Until one asks any question or query, how can one determine whether the place/people/forum where one is seeking answers is right or wrong? This is my personal question, and I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the answer based on your understanding.

I'm facing a similar problem of not being able to open any attachments, instead jumping onto the comments page. Can anybody help with this?

Regards.
CHR
Can you please try once more and report back? We have made some more changes.

Dear Sid, upon clicking any attachments, I am being directed to the USER CONTROL PANEL. I have tried a few more times, but the problem still remains. Thank you very much for your support.

I think it's working now - I just downloaded an e-book.

Hi Taj, we have actually opened up attachment downloads to all users—even those who are logged out. Logged-out users just need to provide an email address, and the download starts. We conduct email verification later.

We believe that if a user does not recognize the usefulness of this community, they will probably not be interested in returning even if we confirm their email. Surprisingly, even without verification, people are providing their actual emails for the downloads. With this process change, we have tripled our email subscription rates—from 2K to 6K. We are also encouraging our members to +1 our pages when they download a file. Google +1 has become a significant ranking factor, and without these votes, we cannot rank well on search keywords.

Regards,
Sid
