It's weird they won't say if it's in the current downlead or not.

 

[Jeremy P]

It’s not in the current download.

It’s not in the current download.

Thank you for confirming Jeremy.

So @Alvin63 you will need to download the patched file from post #40 here once you have upgraded to v2.3.7

 

[Alvin63]

Thank you. So unzip the patch file after downloading then something about replacing a file with it? Which file is it I replace and where please. Thank you.

I've attached a patch, you'll need to unzip it and replace the enclosed js/xf/attachment_manager-compiled.js file, which should resolve this. You'll want to rebuild the master data and/or clear your browser cache to pick up the changes, too.

Thank you - I appreciate that but I still don’t understand ?! I need a noddy guide!

“ unzip it and replace the enclosed js/xf/attachment_manager-compiled.js file, which”

Replace the enclosed xxxx attachment / replace it with what where?

So inside the zip file is an attachment that needs replacing with something somewhere?

You're over complicating things although to be fair the wording that @Jeremy P used does seem a little confusing. You simply need to replace a file on your server with the supplied file of the same name.

So download the attachment and unzip it on your PC. You then need to upload that unzipped file to your server which will overwrite a file of the same name. My preferred method is to use an FTP client. You'll need to navigate to the correct folder on your server which contains the same file name and overwrite it with the unzipped file on your PC.

Thank you.

Can I ask why, 3 and a half months after it was fixed, the known issue has not been resolved for others who have not yet moved to 2.3.7? Surely it is a 2 second job for you guys to replace the file.

It doesn’t inspire much confidence in being an early adopter of future upgrades.

It would certainly take more than literally 2 seconds, but yeah - shouldn't take long and it IMHO would have been smart to just release 3.7.1 Patch 1 as this issue was discovered only a few dayes after release and significantly effects everybody (who either has image optimization or max widt / height enabled).

A patch is available though and applying this isn't really rocket science so it shouldn't be the end of the day that it must be applied manually.
