why can't i access forum threads-- everythread must be opened all of a sudden from showthread.php (?whats that)
my operating system is ubuntu
this just started. well for a couple hours i was getting repeated message for a couple of hours in terms i didn't understand, pure computer talk, from who? i don't know. i did download some email photos but did not save them. can't tell you what it said. but everything was normal at the forum. they just did a minor upgrade there in the last few hours tho also.
i put the machine to sleep for an hour or so. got back on line and can't access the forum threads. i get a window that says:
_____________________________________
opening showthread.php
you have chosen to open
showthread.php
which is a PHP file
from: http://(my forum)
what should firefox do with this file?
- open with [browse button]
- save file
do this automatically etc
