Specialized Profile portfolio attachments aren't workng

[Flora A]

I'm running on FireFox with a typical broadband connection.

I added a .PDF file as an attachment to my Specialized Profile portfolio section. When you click on the item and it brings up the window, clicking on the link to the pdf redirects/refreshes the window instead of downloading or viewing the PDF file.

I do not have popups blocked and I don't have plugins/extensions that would interfere with this.

Attachment files in messages works just fine.

When adding a new portfolio item, there is excessive data downloading, as though firefox is continually downloading background scripts. When I get to the "Add Details" page where I can upload an attachment, the "uploading" graphic only seems to be decorative because the file is never usuable when I save and close out of the section and the portfolio item is visible.

Hi Flora,

I just want to confirm if you have tried this with Chrome as well and if yes, are you experiencing the same problem? Thank you.

Opening the website in chrome and clicking to my profile to the attachment
link does the same result. It refreshes the page instead of downloading the
attachment.

I'm going to use Google Chrome and delete the profile item and try to
upload it again.

Okay,
In Google Chrome, I deleted my specialized portfolio item and tried to upload a new pdf file. It's 189kb in file size with no images. It did the exact same thing that it did in FireFox Quantum.

I'm going to use google docs for my portfolio items for now.

Hello -- I'm experiencing the same problem with portfolio attachments.

I've tried to access them both in Chrome and Microsoft Edge with the exact results reported here.

Thank you for your assistance.
