Description:

Using google chrome browser: New Players menu link (between New Posts and Layonara Links) in the forums is broken. This may also be tied to the issue of the drop down menus not working in Chrome. The link and error message are below.

I also tried this in IE 7. It didn't return the error message, but just sent me back to the start page, not to any specific information for new players. Also strangely the drop down menus don't work in IE 7. I don't use fire fox anymore so I wasn't able to test functionality under fire fox.

I think its pretty important for these links to work for new players and to support the modern browsers.

Repeatable: ? Dunno someone else should test with Chrome and IE.

I didn't try Chrome because I don't have or use it, but IE8 works fine for me in or out of compatibility mode. I typically use Firefox.

Perhaps there is a browser security setting that is keeping the menus from working?

There may also be updates for vBulletin that would address this, but that's not my department.

But to be clear, are you saying that the link that's present instead of the menu doesn't go anywhere?

The drop-down menues do not work on Layo, when viewed in Chrome.  But I do know another forum that uses vBulletin that has drop down menues, that work fine in Chrome.

Yes, I understand that, and that there are likely patches to vBulletin that we have not applied which may address this. Again, I don't know. I'm not involved at that level, but then that doesn't seem to be the core issue being reported here either.

It seems to be that one of the headings, when menus aren't functioning, is returning a link that's invalid, but I wanted to get confirmation that that's the case.

Hi Dorg,

Yes this is correct. The menu link New Players does not work.  It gives the error shown above. The links to the left New Posts does work. The other menu links don't give error messages. Though they may not work exactly as intended.

Cheers,
