Forum Tools popdown gone away?

**allen201** · 05-27-2007, 11:20 PM

Anyone else having this problem? It stopped working yesterday or the day before for me, using FF 2.0 (2.0.0.3).

Cannot subscribe to threads now..

**djmatty** · 05-28-2007, 01:00 AM

It's still there. Have you tried another browser, or checked your User CP options about thread subscriptions?

**JeffsE36M3** · 05-28-2007, 05:33 AM

I am having a similar problem with Firefox. If I am in a thread the drop down menus work but if I am in the forum they do not. I always use search and it worked perfectly until Saturday. I actually thought the search function was down on Saturday until I tried Explorer. Now, if I want to search I have to use Explorer.

WTF? Over.

**Kevlar** · 05-28-2007, 09:33 AM

I will check this out... it's quite possible I altered something in the template that only affects firefox (cause it works in IE).

**allen201** · 05-28-2007, 09:41 AM

Mine is working in FF again today... crazy gremlins.

**m6affliction** · 05-29-2007, 07:08 PM

Mine's not working either. Running FF 2.0.0.3 on Mac OS 10.4.8. It was working fine before the weekend and now nothing.

**ken_vs_ryu** · 05-29-2007, 10:20 PM

not working on 2.0 and 3.0 here. search drop down and links are broken.

**djmatty** · 05-29-2007, 11:58 PM

fetch_object("pagenav_form") has no properties

fetch_object('pagenav_form').addr = addr;

Line 1809

I wonder if changing the line to this:
document.getElementById('pagenav_form').addr = addr;
would work.

Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?

**JeffsE36M3** · 05-30-2007, 10:44 AM

Clearing the cache did not help. Seems like too many people using the same browser having the same problem starting about the same time for it to be a cache issue but it was worth a shot. Something must have been changed on the board over the weekend to cause this. It would be nice to get this fixed so I can stop using IE. I like bookmarking things I find when I search and now I have to copy from IE and paste to FF to keep my bookmarks straight.

Thanks for looking into this.

Software updates happen on the forum quite frequently and I believe one of the last updates involved moving alot of javascript from one file to another remote file. That javascript would explain the dropdown menu problem.

I don't see the problem because I'm using IE so it's hard for me to debug.

**97alpineM3** · 05-30-2007, 11:09 PM

I have the same problem as we speak. On FF 2.0.0.3

No tools or search function.

Same for me too.

I'm using Camino (FF variant) and on a Mac.

Edit: Whoa, wtf, right after I posed, I went back up to double check, it works now...

**97alpineM3** · 05-30-2007, 11:25 PM

Yup... I just did the same after reading your post... I'm on a mac too...

Works fine now....

Dont touch a thing... maybe it will work for a little while.

I lied. It stopped working in the Mid-Atlantic Regional forum...but it works for the Board Suggestions forum

Really weird

Me thinks someone doesn't want me to moderate there anymore

**djmatty** · 05-31-2007, 12:42 AM

Not a caching issue. Cleared my cache, still have the problem in FF.

**97alpineM3** · 05-31-2007, 08:28 AM

Yup... I still have the problem...

Les

**m6affliction** · 05-31-2007, 02:42 PM

Any updates? I still have the problem.

**JeffsE36M3** · 05-31-2007, 04:27 PM

To narrow it down, the drop downs work fine for me within a thread and at the main board level (and have since this problem was first noticed so nothing has changed). However, within any particular board (ie E36 M3, Audio, Suggestion Board) they do not work for me. HTH

Not surprising, it's a separate ID on the container, and probably different code for that page.

**J///MR** · 06-01-2007, 12:45 AM

Doesn't work for me FF 2.0.0.3

**M3Eater** · 06-01-2007, 01:09 PM

Not working for me with FF2 either, but I have a workaround so I can keep using Firefox:

1. Right-click on the Forum Tools link.
2. Select "Open link in new tab"
3. Go to that tab and click on the desired link you would have chosen had it been in the pulldown menu.
4. Close the new tab and hit F5 to refresh the page you were on. Voila! Especially useful for the "Mark This Forum Read" feature.

**brosher** · 06-01-2007, 01:15 PM

Same problems in 2.0.0.4 that just started the other day. Working on the main level, does not work in forums but works in this forum.
