If you hover over the link you can see it sends you to a thread on this forum.

I think decorum can be trusted not to put a dodgy link in his post.

I think you mean a .php rather than a .pdf. Yes the site was down for a bit and browsers would download (or offer to download) a .php file instead, nothing dodgy, just a spanner in the wrong place and all fixed now.

On my tab 3 it still downloads a .htm file instead of opening a web page, work fine on chrome on the same device though, which I don't like to use

ah, thanks for that sandbender.
