    Hi

    Not sure if you can help me wth this but, suddenly and for no reason i can think of some of the dropdowns no longer work for me on the site when i use the Chrome browser.

    All the dropdowns from the category tabs across the top work fine but the Notifications box no longer appears, the dropdown under my username with threads, private message etc doesn't appear and neither does the dropdown under "My Forums"!

    I now have to click the small arrow beside both to go directly to the pages to see the threads with new posts.

    Any ideas what is causing this, everything works fine in Firefox but i prefer to use Chrome. This is really annoying though :(

    I'm the same.

    I get a blank menu when I hover over where it says "My Forums."

    Happens from time to time to me also. clearing the browser cache and a browser restart fixes the problem here.

    Checked on IE and Firefox not working on either of them for me.

    I wonder did I change some settings by mistake the only drop downs that don't work are on my Screen Name and My Forums I also lost the number of fourms following that have replies.

    All other drop downs work fine.

    Having the same problem here across IE, Firefox and Opera. Tried resetting the appearance options to default then clearing the cache and restarting the browser but it had no affect.

    Also, the reading area reset to normal width rather than full width at the same time the dropdowns stopped working.

    Moved to site dev as I think there's enough of a body of reports to warrant it.

    Same issue here.

    - No notification box.
    - No dropdown menu on my username or My Forums.
    - Cosy mode no longer working, stuck on full padding.

    This is happening on 5 separate machines that I've been using over the past week or two. Have tried clearing cache and all that stuff to no avail.

    Here're the diagnostics:

    For me, My Forums won't give the drop down list unless I click it twice, even then it's slow (Chrome)

    Seems okay with Firefox.

    I've seen it broken on on multiple firefox versions (ESR & normal channels), as well as chrome. All running Win 7.

    Also not working on firefox running on Linux.

    This issue resolved itself for me for a while but has come back again over the last 2 weeks on two separate computers that I use and is now not only on Chrome but Firefox too?

    Still no response or acknowledgement from a system admin/dev on this thread however?? I thought that's what the "sys" forum is for?

    The 'My Forums' list is completely empty for me, on Chrome/W7 x64. I think everything else is ok, just no list of followed forums (the drop down appears but is completely blank)

    This reminds me, I forgot to say it in my original post, but the My Forums tab on the homepage is completely blank for me. Other tabs are fine. When this started about a week or two ago, I used to be able to fix the issue by refreshing the page, but that has stopped working now too.

    The My Forums dropdown is broken for me too - regular Chrome on Win 7 and this is the first time I've see this crop up.

    Same here. It must have something to do with the Chrome update the other day.

    Hi,

    Over the last couple of days, the My Forums dropdown list is blank for me when using Chrome - it's there when I access the Site using IE.

    I've cleared my cache etc but no joy.

    Any idea if this is a bug (I doubt it) or if I've done something stupid (much more likely)?

    Sorry, I've just seen that this issue is reported in another thread. Feel free to close or merge this.

    It's not just chrome that's affected.

    It looks like it could be something funky with the html, for instance the dropdown arrow next to the username points to /vbulletin/usercp.php so it loads that page rather than producing the dropdown (or did they just open on hover, it's been so long I can't remember :p).

    They opened on hover. The link to the CP was always behind there IIRC.

    You'd imagine it has to be something on Boards' side since it's affecting loads of different browsers (IE, Chrome and FF for me on various machines anyway).


    Did Dav go messing around with the system again before going on holidays? :pac:

    Is there currently a drop down issue with the user profile? In the top right corner where user name is listed next to my forums the drop down menu isn't active for both selections.

    Running chrome on PC.

    working fine for me (IE on win7) , its not a traditional drop down (as in click to get options) but more of a mouseover effect.

    you don't have scripts disabled for the site?

    Ya, that's what I mean. It has always been a mouseover effect dropdown, at least on my last log in 5 days ago.

    Now however the arrow is visible but when I hover over it there is nothing happening. I checked chrome settings and 'allow all sites to run JavaScript (recommended)' is checked.
