Default template behaves improperly.

joujoujou

Both bright and dark 'forum default' templates work improperly:

- very top links (Talk to / Boards / Adverts / Arts / Biz / etc...) are static (no drop-down on hover),

- same issue with links under my nickname and 'My Forums',

- header remains sticky regardless of settings ("use sticky haeader" unticked)

- home page (boards.ie) tabs ( Latest Posts / My Forums / My Threads / Trending / Thanks) have no content, tabs are not switchable.

Cleared cache and cookies - no change. Disabled browser's plugins and extensions (Firefox 22.0) - no change. Used Safari instead - no change.

Problem does not exist on randomly checked 2 other templates.

Appeared yesterday or the day before - I am very sorry, but don't remember exactly.

Will provide screenshots upon request.

Sounds like a javascript issue alright, are you being presented with any javascript errors / warnings in the browser console ? (In Firefox hit "Ctrl - Shift - K" and unselect Net / CSS / Logging and refresh the page, in Chrome hit "F12" and select the Console tab and again refresh the page).

Failing that a screenshot of the homepage along with a screenshot of http://www.boards.ie/diagnostics (with your IP address removed if possible) would be great as a next step.

Thanks, R

Actually, loads of errors and warnings.

Well, not a screenshot, but hopefully it's fine.

Thank you for quick reply.

Please try another browser, there seems to be significant problems with your Firefox - it's not loading jQuery and complaining about some vBulletin javascript that at this stage is many years old, untouched for a similar length of time and has functioned flawlessly in the past. I cannot reproduce your issues here on Windows 7 with Firefox 22.

It might not be a bad idea to try creating an alternative Firefox profile for testing, it gives you a proper blank slate to work from but be warned that you'll lose your history & settings if you delete the old profile

Already tried so (I have 3 FF profiles, including blank one). Also, as mentioned above, tried totally different web browser with no luck either. :P

Anyway, whatever you did, everything's back to normal now, so thank you very much indeed.
