Calling all Mac users: I've had a report from new user ethylene (welcome!) that the links on the grey bar up there aren't clickable on Firefox 1.0.4. Anyone else seeing this problem?

if you mean the new post/ profile/ logout buttons, it works fine for me. Firefox 1.04/Mac OSX

Could this be another problem with javascript being turned off? /ignorant

I turned off javascript but it still worked /more ignorant.

Blimey. Well I don't know what to suggest then. Maybe ethylene has a plugin that's interfering I guess.

well if the sidebar is extended to half the page, the buttons disappear. if that helps. somehow.

doesnt work for me : 10.0.4 on win2K

aww, i feel so special, like you should read to me slow--

i have checked the variables mentioned, but only in the most cursory way (plan to investigate when i have the time), and ended up mailing the geezah to help, see what other bugs people might be experiencing that they literally couldn't mention, inhibiting registration, usage, blah blah blah, esp. for those less tech savvy--

But "look, ma, two hands!" = "i can comment"

sidebar? people surf with sidebars open?

not i, said the cat

Well, i checked it on both netscape and IE on macOSX and they both look fine, but they have two separate bars for the date and post/register/login/out where as mine overlap (which i thought it was suppose to, as a design thing). As to which is above which has changed twice with code tweaking, there are no extraneous plugins or extentions on or off that should interfere. the quickest peek at the source holds no revelations--

--anyone got something else to check while i'm at it?

if this is another 10.1.5 problem, if i could upgrade, doncha think i would have?

posted by ethylene 23 May | 17:19

all systems go, mon cappy tan
and i didn't touch a thing
look, ma, no hands!

sorry, cap'n, but the bars reverted back when i checked yesterday (saw them switch it up a bit) but the new bottom links seem to work.
