Why can we no longer open uploaded files by clicking on the link?

  After uploading a file and publishing in a new post, the site has recently started to link with the location where the file is stored rather than opening the file to view. For example, where a document is stored in my “documents” file in MS when the link is clicked my documents file is opened rather then the file itself. what am I doing wrong or has the form changed to upload these.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
