it still bugs me that clicking the 'Save Info' button mearly opens up a .txt file in IE. They use to to execute the Save As... dialogue because they were *.nfo files and IE had no association.

Just annoying.

hmm...
yeah...
it's not a big problem...
but sometimes it can be annoying to rename them...

That's IE's fault...the filename sent is *.nfo.  IE likes to rename all files to .txt with they contain a text/plain header, however.

But it used to work just fine... this change only happened about 2 months ago and there weren't any updates to IE 5.5 SP1.

And it happened on all three machines I have at home and my work laptop simultaneously.

sorry mand but it's definitely a function of this site. I just threw an .nfo up on my own web server (apache) and clicked a link and IE prompted me if I wanted to Save or Open and when I choose Save it still had the .nfo extension.

The .nfo database here has turned them all into .txt files.

...i think he already said that.

it's sending HTTP/1.01 Plain Text or whatever it says as a file header, for some reason or another.

your web server and mine don't necessarily send a file header of that type, that's why it asks ya...

perhaps there's some line of code that could be changed to HTTP/1.01 Other or whatever it is for headerless files to fix the problem?

but i'm not big on web design or nothin' so i'm clueless.

and, i'm sure you all already knew that.
