If people could check that out and see if it makes a difference for you, that would be great. That was just the conclusion after a quick look this evening. We think Andres may have looked at this issue previously but he is out of the office this week; we'll try asking him tomorrow and hopefully he will have a quick fix/recommendation for it. If not, we will look into a fix but it may be another little while as Pablo is working alone at the moment.

In the meantime, if checking that box does or does not make a difference, let us know. Thanks for your patience on this

I can't even log out at the moment

Tried logging in there now with the box both unticked and ticked with neither option resulting in the drop-down menus working.

Doing a wee bit more snooping and the javascript is giving out about current.userid and current_user.userid, current and current_user are equated to the data variable but in each case it's an empty variable.

The first line controls the way the web-page is displayed, the second controls generation of the followed forums menu, neither of which are working for me.

In case you still can't logout - http://www.boards.ie/auth/logout

Zapp Brannigan

Same issue here. On the most recent version of chrome for Mac 38.0.2125.101

Tried logging out to make sure the stay logged in box was ticked. It was and the problem still persists. Oddly, in Safari boards works just fine.

Agent Coulson

Made no difference for me either.

But not until about 10 seconds after opening the box.

same here.

weirdly the dropdown is working on my work PC, but not on my laptop - they're both Chrome on OSX Mavericks...

No effect (like others the box is always ticked).

FWIW also dumped the cookies, no effect.

Just rebuilt my office laptop today (Win 8.1 and Chrome 38.0.2125.101 m) and having the same issue

Hope ye fix it quick as I don't know where anything is anymore!!

Thanks for getting back about this, as can be seen there are a number of users with this issue so i reckon it definitely warrants further inspection.

Tell Pablo his cartel will survive without him for a while and to sort this mess out as a priority

Still the same for me today on my work laptop but when i was on my home laptop last night and it working 100%...Chrome both on Laptops...You would kinda miss it for handiness

Boards.ie: Niamh

Ok, points all noted and we will check into this asap

Ken.

I updated to chrome 38.something something and got this problem. I then updated to chrome 40.something something developer spec and it went away. I therefore assume its something to do with chromes 38.something something update.

Is 40.x.x a developer release?

I'm on 38.x.x and it's telling me it's up to date.

Ken.

Yeah, 40.x.x is the developer release.

Just started happening for me tonight.

Wetbench4

Happening on chrome, firefox & ie for me. Tried deleting cache, cookies, session and logged back in and problem is still there.

Frank Grimes

I just noticed that Chrome has updated to Version 38.0.2125.104 m and the problem with the blank My Forums drop down persists.

Dav

Hello all.

I'm sweeping in to let you know that this is getting full attention at the moment and as I'm just back from my holidays, I'm gonna go through the threads and make sure I'm getting an accurate picture of what's happening and to who.

I tried it myself this morning first of all with Chrome. I was still on version 37.x.x.x, but Chrome prompted me for the upgrade to 38.x.x.x. After that upgrade I was affected by this issue too. I have since upgraded to the Developer built which is currently at 40.x.x.x. I would suggest that as a temporary workaround, this isn't a bad one, but is by no means a solution and I'm not suggesting that this is an official fix.

I have not replicated this on any other browser, but I'm going to keep playing around with that to see.

I've also merged all threads about this into one to make it easier to track all the details of the issue.

happening to myseld on both android and chrome 38.0.2125.101 m. Clicking the down arrow twice beside my forums will eventually bring it up on desktop and re-orientating the screen on android will bring it up

Just updated to 39.0.2171.27 beta-m (64-bit) from here (2nd link)

My Forums drop-down now working again (Win 8.1 x64)

You are a gem... Re orientating the screeen works on my android tablet. Chrome on my desktop and windows tablet have been fine. I have a softspot for this old android tablet so thanks again.

Pablo's testing a fix based on this report he spotted: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=341089

The overflow:hidden seems to be the culprit and an initial fix of simply removing it has meant the list is rendering, but it looks a bit horrible

I'll keep you all posted.
