It appears to be going in cycles, it'll work fine for 10 minutes and then stop for a while.

Are you sure it's not your userstyle? Tried disabling it? I've been browsing the forums for the past hour and it hasn't happened at 10 min intervals.

This sounds like issues with the CDN again. The drop down menu, the quick reply/quote function and list updating functions all rely on javascript files which are located on the CDN. If these files are not accessible for you, then these things won't work.

As always with CDN problems this is different for every user, so some people have more problems than others. Often this is only a temporary problem and fixes itself after a few minutes/hours.

As a current workaround try to use a different browser (because sometimes it works in a different browser even though the connection is the same) or your mobile phone network. If this doesn't help then:

- If you have problems with the drop down menu, here are all direct links:


- If you can't reply with quick reply, use the "Post New Reply" button that's above the first post on every page.

- If you can't use the quote function, you can add the quote BBCode manually (BBCode help here).

- If you can't update your anime/manga list, you can go to the DB entry and scroll down to the "My Info" section to update episode count and status. If you want to update other details on your list you can export it, modify the list offline, and import it again.

This is related as well because there's a function in one of the javascript files for displaying images.

I am not cpble of seeing Imgs, signtures and others, the only ones that I cn see are the avatars.

And the "Profile" "Anime", etc don't show that small list where I can choose, for example Friends, Clubs, etc.

I tried on Opera, Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer, it happens the same on all of them.

Mod Edit: thread merged.

That's because of CDN - some servers have the needed scripts and some not, and it depends on what server you get connected to

I am currently experiencing a glitch that makes it impossible for me to make use of the Search bar or update my Lists from anything but the Edit page. Pressing the + icon on the Watching section of my Anime and Manga Lists does nothing, and trying to enter the exact number manually refreshes the page without changing anything.

It does not seem to be possible to update each value from the My Info section of a series' page. The Edit Details page is the only one that works.

Similarly, using the Search bar simply refreshes the page that I'm currently on instead of taking me to whatever page I might be searching for. This happens regardless of whether I press Enter or use the button next to the Search bar. Links function perfectly and are the only way to navigate the site.

Any fixes?

The issue with the Dropdown links and Quick Reply buttons seems to be the one. Hadn't noticed 'cos I tend not to use them much, but they aren't working either.

Threads Merged.

Are users still experiencing these problems?
And are you sure the page has fully loaded when this occurs? Check to make sure it isn't still partially loaded.

This is also all on the desktop site, not the mobile site, right?

Having problems loading images as well. Can confirm that it lags out with MAL updater as well, giving a "JPEG error #53: error displaying JPEG image" or something similar. Copying the CDN image url into a new tab has worked although this is intermittent and thus difficult to test.
This is a different bug. This is loaded images on the site not appearing and something we've known about for a while. With this bug, I'm looking for embedded images (like sigs) not site images not loading.

Along with these other, more important, javascript problems:

so turning off adblock really seems to work for people i'm going to try turning it on the off.
im using chrome tried on IE didnt work either oh and seeing as i hardly use IE i don't have any add-ons apart from flash on it.

EDIT: i erased my entire chrome history and now everything seems fine so if turning off adblock doesn't work just erase all history it seems

I'm using chrome and I see a lot of broken pictures. Some avatars are not loading, some forum pictures, right clicking doesn't work just like marking a text so I can copy it...
I tried turning off adblock and it still doesn't work, also erased my history and that doesn't help, either

@TyraMisoux: yup!

btw, I'm having the same issue with firefox

it's really weird that some avatars/profile pictures are loading and others aren't. must be a CDN issue again
