Has work stopped on Bricklink updates? I noticed a lot of links don't work
on pages. If you are in messages, and click the community button, nothing happens.
You have to click the Bricklink button on the left to get to the home screen
for fully functionality.

Also a lot of other items don't work like stoplists.

It might be your browser and/or system settings.

Howdy. I've had the issue since the release of the new version, all the
"hoverable" buttons on the top right of the page only work once until you reset
them by going back to the "Bricklink" logo on the top left. I reported the issue
to the support team but they were unable to duplicate the problem. I tried IE11,
Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox on both windows 7 & 10 workstations and wnos
2k12 and 2k8 with no luck. I'm pretty sure I've isolated the problem
to a security "feature" at my companies firewall and a Java execution risk that's
blocked - it works fine if I'm sneaky & circumvent the bazillion dollar firewall
or hop on the wifi from a neighbouring building so I know it's not the local
workstation.

If you can update your Java installation, or maybe have access to modify your
firewall rules (possibly contact your isp) you may be able to fix it, otherwise
the workaround isn't soo bad - just annoying.

Just wish they would make the awful delay on the hover over those icons not take
soooo long to actually bring up the menus!!!

Just to be pedantic, BL doesn’t use Java, but it does use Javascript. Totally
different things.

That message’s sponsored by the “please don’t use a stupid (too common, already
in use, unsearchable) name for your programming language” comity.
