So for the last couple of days when I try to post something in a forum it tries to save a page called the index.php. Kinda at a loss about this at the moment. Firefox and chrome both do this at this point. Has anyone ran into this before?

thanks

OK on the old laptop now it has been a bit since this was down dated by M$, no issues with this one. So it is the other pc. Some type of compression perhaps.

Have you tried clearing your browsers' caches? If the index file in your cache is corrupt it'll keep happening until the index.php reaches its expiration date and your browser replaces it.   

It seems your browsers are downloading the php instead of opening it. Usually caused by something whacky in the php or html for the site, but can also be caused by corrupt cached files, and yep, compression errors.. I vaguely recall a performance setting maybe in network, or maybe the browser's options? wherever it was, unchecking performance would fix compression problems sometimes, too.

     

   

At that awkward age where your brain has gone from " Probably shouldn't say that" to
"What the hell, let's see what happens"?  Me too.
