The dropdown menu for new/unread topics isn’t working in Chorme on my laptop.  

Interesting… I’m on chrome on my laptop almost always, and I have not had that issue.

I got here using it. I’ve had no issues and I use Chrome.

Yes they’re getting 404 errors with the css files which seem to have randomized names?

Also seems to be throwing a lot of security errors with ads for me in Chrome.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

I’m not getting any security errors, and I don’t know where that css file is supposed to belong. I can’t find it in the page source anywhere. I’m trying to stop my kids from fighting in another room right now but I’ll look at it when I can.

RN already mentioned this, and mmm magically had it fix itself for him.  The drop down menu is gone, and if you go down to below the stats, there are it’s contents.  It appears the drop down menu has too much to carry and dropped all of it to the bottom of the forum.  

I’ve not been able to replicate that. Which browser/OS are you using?

I’m on Chrome/OS X and it looks the same as it ever was. Can you please try clearing your browser cache?

When I click on an unread thread in the drop down menu, I am not taken to the new post at the bottom of thread like I was before. I am taken to the very top of the page of the thread I clicked on. (PC using Chrome)  

I’ve found that too. Sometimes when I quote to reply, or hit the Add Reply button at the top, it doesn’t scroll automatically to the new message window. I think there’s a problem with the anchor tags. Something for the new year to-do list.

Edit: also, after submitting a new message, it used to refresh the page on that particular part of the page. It doesn’t seem to do that anymore, or is unreliable.

That’s probably how mmm fixed it.  I’ll try that it when I get on my computer today.  @Ron Nasty and @Ahhh Girl should should try that as well.  Thanks Joe!

^ Did that. The problem comes and goes. Now I’m having the problem again of not going to the bottom of the page. That comes and goes too.

I just got onto my computer and it seems to be magically fixed without me doing anything.  I didn’t use my computer yesterday, so I don’t know if it was fixed or still broken then, but it was broken Saturday.

Edit:  

@William Shears Campbell said

Along with the menu migrating south, it appears that the threads are now making themselves as read when you go to them, instead of having to refresh the page.  So that’s good.

With the magic fixing of the new/unread posts menu it appears that this is still a thing.  However it is not that way on the mobile site.

It appears @Zig x2, @The Hole Got Fixed, and @limitlessundyinglove were building some sort of staircase for a third Zig to climb. Not sure what they accomplished with that. a-hard-days-night-paul-10

I wonder if that was the old way to post videos. Maybe the mod’s can go in and edit his post to fix the videos and make it not glitchy

Thanks both. The page should be OK now.

Yes, back in olden times we had to add embed code to get YouTube vids to display. Now it’s just a matter of pasting the URL. The old code doesn’t really work anymore, so there might be other similar instances. Next time I find one I’ll do a sitewide search for the code.

I’m not sure what caused the weird nesting of comments, but fixing the vids seems to have sorted it.

I am logged in on my phone.

When I go to a beowser on my computer, I see the message “Welcome back Ahhh Girl / Please log in to post”, but I have a “register” button instead of a “log in” button. Is this happening to anyone else? If you can’t log in here to tell us, you can email Joe using the “Contact us” link on the bottom of each page.

@Starr Shine?, you might keep an eye on the backup forum.
