XF 2.3 Attachment not showing in thread

I have a docx file attached to a thread in my article forum, and it isn't showing up in the tread for download. The user group (registered users) and node has the permission to upload and view attachments. Even I (admin) can't see it in the thread view..

If I go to admin.php?attachments/, I can see and download the file there. But not in the actual forum thread.

Any ideas?
 
Chrome and Firefox both will block docx sometimes. I would guess it has to do with the way threads load attachments vs how the admincp loads attachments. Turn off Safe Browsing in Chrome and see if that allows you to download it, that will at least tell you if this is the problem or not.

I would not leave that turned off, nor would I allow members to attach docx or similar files directly. I make them zip it up first.
 
Yeah that didn't help. (Firefox, but tried disabling smart block, which is a similar feature). Also no problem downloading docx from for example boardgamegeek. So something on my website that is the problem.

Also tried with different browser (Edge), and different user (regular user and my admin acc). Same result.
