Randomly disappearing dropdown navigation

Overheal · 2008-09-16 23:52:02

The Nav Bar at the top of the page. It keeps disappearing and re-appearing at random, and no amount of refreshing and adblock disabling *cough* seems to fix it - its like its alive.

its completely gone at the moment. even the sitemap to the left of the latest posts was inoperable: i kept click on system but it kept throwing me back to the frontpage. I eventually had to wait until someone posted in a sys forum so I could backtrack to its rootpage.

Me too! I'm on the classic skin so I don't think it's related to that. And I'm running Firefox on Linux, so it's not your OS for those of you on Windows. Anyone on IE having this problem?

As far as I'm concerned this is fixed, made some changes to how the menu is served and how it is generated, haven't had any reports of problems since.

Thanks all.
