Can't log out!

seenitall

Hiya,

just looking for advice, since a few days ago the drop down thingy beside my username in the righthand corner of the screen stopped showing up, so essentially I've been unable to log out. At all! :eek:

Whenever I click on my username these days, it just takes me to another page of my profile instead of displaying the drop-down. What's that about, any ideas? Thank you!

Have you blocked Javascript? Does the menu drop down work at all?

Hi,

no, the drop down menu doesn't show up at all (as it used to) when I click on my username. Although the drop-down arrow symbol is still there, to the right of my username. As I said, it just takes me straight to another page of my profile (the followed threads page).

Er... blocked Javascript... what?! (I'm useless with computers, I must've messed things up somehow!)

What should I do next?

Thanks!

Your browser does not have Javascript Enabled, this is also why you cannot see the dropdown when you hover over your username and why you cannot see the dropdowns when you over over the menu at the top of the page (The ones with Boards.ie, Adverts.ie, Arts, Biz etc).

Please visit this page - http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/javascript-settings-for-interactive-web-pages - to find out how to enable Javascript for your browser (Firefox).

I should also point out to you that you are running Firefox 3.6, they are up on Firefox 17 now. It might not be a bad idea to upgrade your browser - see here for more details about how to do that.

Hi Danny,

I've gone onto that page and followed the instructions (going into "Tools", then "Options", and then "Enable Javascript" - but it was already ticked?). Anyway, then I clicked OK, but the problem is still here - no dropdown. How can that be?

Thank you for the link on updating Firefox!

Boards.ie: Danny

Are you using any Firefox plugins (e.g. NoScript)?

seenitall

Hi,

sorry about the delay, I was trying to figure out about plug-ins (mainly by asking other people but I should have just googled it - d'oh!). It turns out I have lots of plug-ins: Adobe Acrobat, Google Earth, Google Update, iTunes App Detector, Microsoft Office Live Plug-in for Firefox, Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox, Move Media Player, Mozilla Default Plug-in, Quick Time Plug-in and a few more. Tell me if you want the rest of the list. (None of the other ones have either Firefox or NoScript in the title.)

Thanks!

Well the basic problem is that Javascript is disabled in your browser. I cannot really help much further than that, it's a problem with your browser or a plugin and not really a site issue.

I can suggest various things like recreating your Firefox profile, reinstalling Firefox or trying another browser like Google Chrome if you cannot get Javascript enabled. I can tell you that having Javascript enabled allows you to get the best Boards.ie experience

OK, thank you for your help, Danny.

I'll look into reinstalling Firefox I guess.

You can close the thread!

You're very welcome, hope you get it sorted out
