Anyone else having problems opening hyperlinks on FM ?
If I use a google search then I can open the forum using the link, but still can't access the home page articles.
Anyone any ideas.
Cheers

Absolutely nothing on the FM front page works for me, I can't access the articles or features from there or any of the links across the top to such as the forum etc.

Been like it for a week or so :confused:

I thought they were just trying to keep riff raff like me out...

It certainly ain't my PC.

What happens if you right click on a link and choose open in new tab ??? .
Does your pointer actually change it's form from an arrow to a finger or what ever variation your OS uses .
What browser do you use .. Chrome & Chromium have both had similar problems on Linux in recent months Firefox is ok .
IE aint got the first idea cant run it .

I'm running IE, nothing at all happens when you right click other than the normal drop down menu you get when not clicking on a link.

Is as if it's just not recognising that they're links :confused:

Maybe, if we can keep this thread active with non-sensical drivel. The powers that be will be alerted to our plight , eh Binka.

Just had a look at the way the forum codes links in the source it does nothing strange.

I would suggest you have a good sniff around IE , Or better still replace it with either Chrome , Chromium or Firefox ..
