Some "buttons" don't work.

In the recent past, ten days or so, I have had to resort to attempting a response to an OP to get to a log in page. The link at the top right of the Home page does not work on those days. It's intermittent.

Today and yesterday the reply button for comments within and OP do not work. I can't use the button in the lower right corner, even for the OP. I can only respond to the OP and only by using the big blue button at the bottom of the page.

But, oddly, I can reply to this comment.

I have made other replies this morning but I could only do it on a couple threads. Weird.

But others had seen it already
Sounds like 🐜 🐛 🐞 in the system

You can also report it in ATA as a tech issue

I can open, say, the sports forum fine, but the drop down links don't respond at all.

Curiously, it's only on one computer.

I have logged out and back on a few time as I go do something then come back, the problem isn't happening at all and I found that when it doesn't respond, putting the cursor on the little blue spot in front of the link words does work.

But things have been working after the most recent login. Also, my browser did an update a little while ago too.

7. Logging out and back in didn't resolve my problem

It started late last night. I rebooted my computer with no changes.

Until I resolve MY problem, I'm searching for a back door into those forums. That, or continue walking from one computer to the other.

A couple times. It started for me this weekend and I thought it would go away but it was happening again this morning.

When the words link part doesn't work, the little dot next to it did. I stumbled onto that after I posted this OP.

I've updated my dinosaur Apple computers as far as I can go. Everything works on fine on the 10.12.6, but the 10.10.5 balks.

What the heck changed in 24 hours?

What I thought, the dot wasn't there the whole time, I was thinking I may have imagined that part. I remember just clicking on it constantly for a second out of frustration and moving to cursor around. At some point there was a dot... I did that, too, because I thought the link mode cursor was flicking at certain points and I was trying to find one and then there was a dot button. I have my cursor set to be a different symbol when over live links.

Thanks for helping to clear that part up. I suspect my browser update might have something to do with it too.

I hope your issue clears up, it's frustrating.

As a back door solution, you might try clicking ''my posts'' as a way to enter any favorite forums you've recently posted in (?)

It's reassuring someone else is having the same problem, and it's not a dying computer

FWIW, I have insider information (MIRT) that EarlG is tweeking stuff today, so 'our' problem may resolve itself.

If it persists, we should let him know.

13. I'm finding that ''Forums & Groups'' way on the bottom of the page works better than the side-bar

Multiple problems with buttons again today.
Can't select any groups from the topics column on the home page.
WTF is happening? Are most problem caused by angry ad providers?

16. Use the "Forums & Groups" link way on the bottom of this page

It works much better than the side panel.
