Notifications & Dropdowns not working in Chrome browser

Hi I have the same issue in Firefox, Windows 7

The forum lists will drop down but the User panel and the "my Forums" list will not drop down when you hover over them.

I have the issue on chrome but not on firefox, This is what im seeing on chrome

That makes it worse for me niamh,I log out and go back in unticking stay logged in and when i hover over the username and My Forums theres nothing happening, Now find it hard to find the log out button.

Tried it, logged out, cleared chrome cache, cookies , etc. Logged back in with "stayed logged in" selected, my forums menu is empty.

Installed opera, and menus work fine.

This is potentially related to the 'Stay logged in' box when logging in - if you don't tick box, the My Forums and Control Panel drop down menu do not work as they should; if you do tick it, they work properly.

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.

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.

I've always ticked that box - at home and in work. Seeing same issue on both PCs - both using Chrome. I just tested what Vexorg noticed - after about 10ish seconds if I move the mouse around the box all the forums appear as soon as I mouseover them. 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...

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!!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

back working for me on both devices

It's back working for me now too. (Chrome). Thanks.

Still not working for me on Chrome, Firefox or IE.

No joy here. Chrome, Win7.

Currently having this problem on Firefox.
Using version 33.0
