The Waterloo SX May-December 2010 v1.0.1 (v4.2) download is a file named " SX May 2010 (Updated - Loader) v1.0.1.WTT (v4.1)". The file name needs editing to remove the ' (v4.1)', as it's being interpreted as the file type.

Fixed. I took both version numbers out as neither matched the version within the file.

Moral of the story: don't include version numbers in filenames. The information is already in the file.

To be fair, at the time that timetable (and a few others in the Waterloo section) were uploaded, the rules were that you had to include the version numbers in the filename, otherwise they wouldn’t be accepted. I admit that I haven’t looked at the rules for uploading for a good while, so I’m assuming that this is no longer the case? B-)

Anyway, thanks for fixing it – Firefox tends to be really sensitive to these sorts of quirks!

I wasn't aware that was ever the case.

It think it could well have been part of the rubric at some stage as Peter Bennet wrote on 14/02/2016 (see here):

"I was advised by Geoff that since loader it's not a good idea to add version numbers to the timetable name. I need to fix the instructions on that. You are supposed to do it in the timetable editor."
