a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 As soon as this page loaded the mp3 began to play. I did save it onto my desktop, and it plays from there.

@IveJustSeenAFaceo  If you are more technologically proficient than I am (or if anyone is who reads this), if you can figure out a way for my avatar to look better, please help me.

EDIT: After I clicked on save edited post and the page refreshed, your mp3 started playing again. When I came back into edit this post, the song started playing yet again. I don’t know what would happen if more than one mp3 were on here like that. I think we will will have to see how this is going to work out.

@Joe, @Zig, @fabfouremily, @Ahhh Girl, @IveJustSeenAFaceo 

You can save The End  as an mp3 file, its listed in the attachments at the bottom of the post. For obvious reasons that is not ideal for Joe.

Regardless of it being 1 song or 34 it is a major irritant opening up a page and music automatically plays. It should always be up to each individual person to play the song or not. Can someone take it off.

I wanted someone else to see what was happening before the mp3 got deleted. Thanks for posting your comment, mmm.

@meanmistermustard et al., I removed the mp3 attachment.

@Ahhh Girl First, your avatar is kinda hard to read when it’s smaller because the letters are very close in color to the background.

Second, it’s interesting that I can still see the attachment. Probably just cause I posted it.

@Ahhh Girl I can still download the mp3 despite it being removed. I guess @IveJustSeenAFaceo  has to do so.

 

Thank you both for the peace.

@Ahhh Girl @meanmistermustard First of all, I can’t seem to delete it. I hit Remove Attachments but it doesn’t appear to be reacting.

Second, How would you download it? It appears to be a link which leads to a blank page except for a progress bar for it to play. I’m not seeing a download option.

@IveJustSeenAFaceo  Right click on the file name in the attachments box, select “save link as” and up comes my computer file directory asking me where i want to save the mp3 file to.

@meanmistermustard Well then, that’s no good. I can’t seem to remove it though.

@IveJustSeenAFaceo Maybe only Joe can as its saved on his server, not sure about the mods. I PM’d him as soon as i found out i could download the file as he is the one ultimately responsible for the forum, its certainly a bigger problem if the original poster can’t remove the attached file. Better to know when its one poster trying it out instead of discovering when its being done by 10 different people all over the forum.

So right you are, mmm. I’m glad we are getting this tested with one of our own. I downloaded the mp3 the same way mmm did with the right click. I see what I did. I deleted the player box but not the attachment. I’ll go try to delete the attachment now. I will edit this post to let you know if I have success or not.

EDIT: I just had to move the moderator’s toolbox box up on my screen, and I found the “delete attachments” option. I got the mp3 attachment removed.

Cool. Thank AG. Now Faceo won’t have to worry about Joe coming after him when/if Apple found out.

The stuck-in-a-BB-forum-office-instead-of-on-the-Apple-rooftop-ones can be helpful sometimes. ahdn_ringo_09

When I’m not helpful just call me Arggghhhh Girl. Wonder where I got that idea?ahdn_george_07

Yep, we shall wait for The Man to speak on this attachment/download issue.

Is there an option open to the mods where they can allow uploads but not downloads, some box to tick somewhere?

testing. this song will be removed shortly. ***The song “How Do You Do It ” was attached to this post, and it played automatically when the page was loaded. In mod mode I removed the attachment. The box for the song remained it the post but will not play.***

Download remove-attachment.doc

While I still had the song attached, I clicked on edit then I clicked on the attachments button on the bottom of the post box. The first picture on the remove-attachment file shows that there is a “remove attachments” option there. I clicked on the remove attachment button, but didn’t work for me. **going to test the removal of another attachment. check back for updates*** Next, nope, it looks like you can’t remove an attachment while logged in as a regular forum member. Next, see the second picture in the remove-attachment file. When I deleted the attachment with the mod tool, the attachment went poof, but the box for the song stayed in the post.

What song? Nothing comes up, just the Quicktime Player logo overlaid with a huge question mark.

It was there. I didn’t attach “Hold Me Tight ” just in case you came to this page while I had the attachment in place. Keep looking at that post for updates on my progress. I’ll make a new post once I get what I can figured out.

I don’t see a way to make a song play without the downloadable attachment being available. I did my best. If anyone thinks of something else to try (either themselves or me), let me know. Other than that, we will just wait until Joe gets a chance to check this out.

If its not possible to have songs without the download available i doubt its a major loss as the forum has got by without it since its creation. Thanks AG for investigating tho as it would have been a useful feature and maybe Joe can fiddle about with the settings to get it suitable for here.
