Think I've found the source of the pop-up menu problems.

Talliesin

The pop-up menu problems (see various threads) that happens when a forum or thread as more than one page seems to relate to the element pagenav_form not being found (I think it isn't looked for if there's only one page).

In turn, its not being found seems to relate to the fact that the form with an action of "tags.php" isn't well formed.

I suspect therefore that if we can fix this we'll fix the menu problem.

Theres a good deal if I've ever seen one Talliesin, invest a couple hundred/couple thousand on new servers and Ruggie will buy you a pint.

This is becoming a major issue for me, I can't even PM my fellow mods on the forum I mod. No search, Thread Tools, nothing Arggggg. This is not only with a Mac, same issue in work from a windows box.

Has it been fixed already?

I've noticed it's now working for the last few days.

Nope, the code I suspect is at fault is still there and I definitely tried to use a pop-up on a thread with two pages just recently and it didn't work.

It's important to note that firstly I could be wrong about the cause (we'll know if it is tried) and I have no idea how easy a fix it is (it seems like it's probably a relativley simple change to a static piece of code, but that's second-guessing the internal implementation of an server-side application I know nothing about).

This same error prevents me using Forum Tools, or any of the similar dropdown menus on a few forums (One example). The JavaScript error msg is

Error: fetch_object("pagenav_form") has no properties
Source File: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js
Line: 1521

Yet it does seem to be defined in the source..

<!-- PAGENAV POPUP -->

	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="pagenav_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

			<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">Go to Page...</td>

Yes, it is a pain, but the temp fix is IE tab in firefox, or the dreaded IE itself.

Keep at it Talliesin. I know you can do it. YEAH!. (Sorry, I worked for an american company once.)
