File Upload - Browser Inconsistencies

I am testing a form that I designed in WFB. I am having an issue with File Upload. Whenever I upload a file, the file name is changed and there is arbitrary data appended to the file name. The file comes through okay, but the name is changed when I receive the notification emails and the notification message within the browser.

For example, the file test.doc will get renamed to test_71vgtg.com.
This happens in safari, explorer and firefox. Chrome appears to work fine.

Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

I would reinstall and if that doesn't work open a support topic. I tested and couldn't replicate.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I have never seen that happen before either. If you publish your form to S-Drive and test it there, does it work the same or use the correct file name? If you have not tested it on S-Drive, try that and see.

I have a form that also adds an apparently random suffix to the file name in both Chrome & IE.

Here's an example: RockyStream_gegrey_6ecg59.jpg should be RockyStream_gegrey.jpg

Sure wish it did not do that! Reinstall? Really????

Well okay, then. The results of a trouble ticket tells me this is by design. I'll learn to live with it!

If your using your own host you could alter your scripts.
