File Library oddity?

[ossie]

Yesterday when I went to check the file library, I noticed the top listing in the new files section was "Double Stack Container Freight Part 1". I think it had 6 or 8 downloads at the time. When I clicked on it, the first new file that appeared (I have the show NA content first option set) was the New Years Day switching activity by Adreid. Running my eye down the page I could see Bernard's stuff, Shawn's, Eric's & Erich's etc until I started to hit the Russian content on page 2 without seeing the Double Stack Part 1 set. Today I see it's up to 20 downloads but again, I can't actually find it amongst the downloadable content. Can anyone else actually see it and access it amongst the downloads or is it only visible for others in the "new downloads" section as well?

Ok.... brain engaged. Just found it. It's an Indian activity. Was ASSUMING being double stacks it was NA related.

Pete,

I just clicked on the entry "DOUBLE STACK CONTAINER..." where you placed the question mark. It took me right to the download entry. Then I just clicked download and I had the file. I have no idea why it is behaving like this but the file is accessible.

Thanks Fred!

The "problem" is in 2 parts. Part 1 was me assuming it was NA related because of the "double stack" title, but part 2 seems to be something with the "preferred region" option in our user settings. With mine set to NA, I get the situation I described above, but after reading your message, I changed my settings back to "all regions" and it went straight to the file when I clicked on it. Something to store away in the memory bank for next time. Thanks again!

Yep, you found an outdated workaround that broke after preferred region sorting was added, and I didn't pick up on it. Thanks for that.

That entire page needed some work, which is now complete. Hopefully it works without you needing to change your preferences.

Thanks Eric! Straight to it this time with NA checked! 👍

Hard to think that just a little over a year on this software that I had outdated code, but there it was....
