Candybee Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Went to the off topic threads and for the last 2 days nothing happens when I click on a thread. I thought it was a dead battery in my mouse or something but other forums work okay. Its just happening to me in the off topic forum.

Candybee Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 So I signed out twice to see if it changed anything. I still can't click on any topics in the off topic forum. It is also happening in the cooking 101 forum but not the tip topic forum. However, before I actually go into the forum I can click on the thread to the right of the that forum and get in that way. But only on that one thread as it is the last thread that was posted on in that forum. Hope that makes sense. I even tried signing out and closing my browser. Will try another browser and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Okay just tried chrome and it doesn't work either. So yahoo and chrome are the browsers I use and neither of those worked. I don't think its the browser. both are up to date on my comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I've had that happen a few times too. 🤔 Usually in the Classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Just so that I’m clear of what to ask the forum programmers for, it’s only when you click on the specific thread on the right hand side of the main menu? If you click on the form itself from the main menu everything works OK? When did this start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that it's mostly new threads/topics. Started about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I agree, its in the forum itself on any thread. If I go into the off topic forum or the cooking forum and click on any thread, I get nada. However, before I actually go into the forum there is a place to the right of it that shows the last thread to be posted on. If I click on that thread it opens. But, If I go into the forum itself and click on the same thread, nada, won't open. Hope that clarifies it. Its kind of hard explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 what type of device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Here's another way to put it; If you click on Browse to see a listing of all forums, scroll down the listings. You see on the left the forum listings. On the right you see a thread in that forum which was the last one posted on in that forum. If I click on the right thread in the off topic listing it opens up. If I click on the forum, then click on the same thread, it won't open up.

Candybee Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have Edge on my laptop I never, never use. But thought I would give it a try and it worked. I can access the threads on Edge I couldn't on Chrome and Yahoo. Pity. I hate Edge and will probably only use it for this forum for that purpose. Am gonna check to make sure I have the latest Chrome and Yahoo. But seriously both are big browsers and either should work on a large forum.

birdcharm Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I just tried with a Firefox browser, there weren't any problems with this one. Maybe you could try that one so you don't have to use Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmspgh Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I have had that happen to me a few times when I am on my computer (google chrome)...usually if I refresh the page once or twice then I am able to open the thread. It has never happened when I use my phone which is also a google chrome browser. who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
