InvalidRequest downloading video attachments
« on: July 24, 2022, 11:48:17 PM »
I'm getting this error on all the videos I've previously attached to posts, when I click on the link to download them.  Except for the one I just posted minutes ago, which works no matter how many times I click it.

InvalidRequestRequest specific response headers cannot be used for anonymous GET requests.62H4Y68EV6X853YZ1lSNjn57q9omwqdpF5lNCTfVV5nkVeADYvQjloGyO7PjUlRNeavAz9YqsjpPcDW2wDeunThRZKg=

Case in point, my most recent two posts in this thread, Reply #13 and Reply #14:

The M thread spammers are ruining this forum
Thousands of vacuous posts, no sense of decorum
Trolls, the chatroom creeper, and the uppity twat
All earned bans years ago but banned they are not
Thanks to delinquent mods that need to resign
But “it’s a thankless job” they’ve the gall to whine
While the site itself is a broken mess
And the people in charge just couldn’t care less

Sorry I should've searched.  But there's no specific thread about it that I can find.

Anyway, the workaround was posted here.  Credit to lurker:

You open the link in a new window/tab and then trim off the miles of junk from the URL.  So the correct URLs should look something like these.  (Speaker volume alert):

To add insult to injury I was getting hit with 403s the entire time I was making/editing the posts in this thread.
