Forum Discussion
Yes, the problem appeared to affect all file attachments across various posts—at least from what I observed. Every time someone uploaded a file, instead of the usual download link, the forum would display a message saying, “(Virus scan in progress...)” indefinitely. This was consistent for several different file types including .vhd, .zip, and even PDFs. It wasn't tied to just one post either; it was happening across different threads and user uploads, which made me think it might be a system-wide issue rather than something post-specific.
It seems to have resolved itself now, which suggests it may have been a temporary glitch in the forum’s virus scanning service or an update to the platform that caused a hiccup. Either way, I'm glad it was short-lived, but I do think it might be worth looking into the logs around the time it started happening—just in case it resurfaces or was triggered by a backend change.
Thanks again for your support and for encouraging users to report these things. It’s great to know there’s a responsive team behind the scenes monitoring issues like this. I’ll definitely reach out again if I run into anything similar in the future
