They do for me. A box pops up asking if I want to open or save the file. What software are you using? Mac/OS or Windows?

We try to keep this a working thread as it is very easy to miss cover links otherwise.

I think it would help if the first post was a little more explanatory, and I offer this text in exchange:annise wrote: ↑October 29th, 2021, 2:19 pm If you want to ask questions, thank a cover maker, chat or provide hints etc. please do so here: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=64062

caught - and linked. Thank you
Tech bits are all fine except for a minor point which isn't worth fixing - we add the yymm to the files so in years to come we will know which file belongs where - important when there are several versions or when they have a really original title like
"Poems" so we usually use yymm not yydd but as most months do not have 30 days it is fine as is.
If you want to look at it in place https://librivox.org/heart-of-darkness-ver4-by-joseph-conrad/ shows the image that is usually shown, the links under it display the uploaded version and clicking on the author will show the thumb nail,
Clicking on the Archive link shows the itemimage one
And were are not responsible for any other versions that others use.
