A funny computer related comic.

Q) When I try to download an attachment, Internet Explorer is telling me that it "blocked this site from downloading files to your computer". How can I fix this?


The attachment error screen.

A) To fix this you will need to add https://lionslink.uafortsmith.edu to your Trusted Sites list.

  • Click on Tools then Internet Options.
  • Click on the Security tab.
  • Click on Trusted Sites.
  • Click on the Sites button.
    • In the Add this Web site to the zone field type in https://lionslink.uafortsmith.edu and click Add.
    • Click Ok.
  • Click Custom Level.
    • Scroll down to the Automatic prompting for file downloads option and change it to Enable.
    • Click Ok then Yes.
  • Click Ok.
After you make this change you will probably receive a security warning when you try to log into LionsLink or when you go to the Email Center. To prevent this, follow the instructions on the Security Warning Box topic.

If you still have your Attachment window open, close it, then reopen the attachment.
