... to test whether uBlock Origin or Ghostery is blocking JavaScript from running on DU.

If one of them seems to be the issue, check to see if it is blocking the googleapis.com domain as well as democraticunderground.com.

I am not familiar with those extensions so I can't offer more advice than to temporarily disable them in order to determine if they could be causing problems. I've had issues with inadvertently enabling features for individual websites with other extensions, so it's worth testing.

Also double check if there are settings in your browser (site preferences for DU or something global) that could be disabling JavaScript. Sometimes they make the features so easy to enable that they can be accidentally turned on or off. I haven't really used Opera since they switched to Chromium so I can't be more specific about what to check.

Thanks for the heads up, EarlG! Rhiannon12866 Mar 2021 #1
