wendi.nitely commented at 2017-12-19T19:25:15Z A better title would replace "...if you don't access them the first time you see them" with "...if you don't access them while you are logged on (or the first time you log on after they are posted). And while this may be too long for a title. It better describes the issue. |
Whirly Fizzle commented at 2017-12-20T14:52:16Z This is a duplicate of SVC-7129 (MAINT-4803). |
wendi.nitely commented at 2017-12-20T16:53:37Z So it is, but for some reason SVC-7129 (reported in 2010 as far as I can tell) has not been looked at in a very long time, and it is closed for comments so I was unable to add my experience. Specifically, that it is still occurring 7 years later... |
Caleb Linden commented at 2017-12-21T18:25:54Z I will check it out again, the attached MAINT-4803 was verified as fixed. Perhaps something else broke it again. |
wendi.nitely commented at 2017-12-21T23:36:50Z You cannot access the attachment from the group notice per the conditions described earlier. You CAN access the attachment by opening PEOPLE then going to the Groups Tab then going to the Notices area and finding the Notice and pressing the Open Attachment button. This has been broken for years. |

MAINT-4803 (which is the import of SVC-7129) has never been fixed. This bug has been around for years as Wendi said. Information from [~ansariel.hiller] (Firestorm dev): There is absolutely nothing we can do on the viewer's end. The group notice with its inventory offer is sent as special IM type. For the inventory offer actually getting copied into the avatar's inventory, the server waits for an accept message being sent by the viewer. This is done as soon as the user clicks on the attached inventory offer in the group notice. If the message times out on the server in the meantime, there is no way for the viewer to get it back. Also note from SVC-7129:

Steps to Reproduce
Nothing special other than looking at notices with attachments.
Actual Behavior
I saw the attachment to the group notice (could be anything, notecard, object, etc) and didn't touch the link in the notices window until I logged of and back on. then it was unavailable (no action was taken when I clicked the attachment).
Expected Behavior
I was expecting the attachment to be available by clicking it as usual.
Other information
I am still able to go to the group messages and look for attachments and grab it from there, This has been happening for ages!
