[RESOLVED]Orange Barrel??

It seems as if my website profile drop down (top right with avatar pic) is not working in FFox or Chrome.  I'm guessing that maybe your're working on something that has caused this issue. If that's the case just give a shout when you're done and I'll check to make sure it's working again.

works fine for me in Desktop Chrome and Opera

[Antron007]

It's only working for me when I'm on the advanced search or the browse pages. When I click the profile drop down the whole top bar highlights. (FireFox & Chrome PC. My Mobile browsers are actually acting fine.?.) Maybe it's related directly to my profile or something. I'll reboot my computer and post back the results.

[Antron007]

Rebooted. Same issue.

Small update. Works on Edit Collection page but not view collection page.
Works on Contribute Info and Missing From Your Collection pages. No where else though.

What is your Firefox version and are you using any blocking type apps?

[Antron007]

FFox 17.0.1  ... I inspected my add ons and such in both browsers and found one called Complitly. I deleted it from both and it seems fine now. But now when I'm in the forums the drop down stays open on all my browsers. Mobile and PC.

It looks like a forum update has happened...

I spent most of the evening tracking that one down! It was horrible. Let us never speak of it again. So all is well again?

[Antron007]

the user drop down is opening and staying open upon initial page rendering when im on the forms. website is fine now.

Hmm, weird. Try doing a ctrl-f5 while looking at the forums.

[Antron007]

ctrl+refresh=problem solved.

If you wouldn't mind filling me in on the technical aspects of that little trick I'd appreciate it. I like knowing what I've done/I'm doing.

[Wajo357]

yeah... that was a nice trick. But if there a way so that everyone doesn't have to do that, since most people won't see this thread.

I had that this morning, but repeating visits have not caused that problem. Its probably a caching issue with the browser itself?

Most browsers implement this hotkey--it just empties the cached assets for the current page and reloads it.

Good point. I don't ordinarily have this kind of problem with shmax javascript files, because I hash all their last-modified dates, concatenate 'em all into one big file and serve a filename with that hash in it, but the script that was causing the error with the drop-down comes from SMF, which has no such mechanism. So, just to be safe I found all the places in the forum codebase that were including that file, and did a poor man's version bump. All should be well.
