Thread drop-down menu problems?

[The Chief]

Hey all,

Does anyone have any problem with their thread drop-down menus ( Thread Tools, Search this Thread, etc. ) not appearing when you click on them?

When the thread is new, the javascript works for some reason, but after maybe a day or so, it just stops working, so I can't move threads, or even search in them as I when i click on them it doesn't work?

Why is this?

[The Chief]

can anybody help with this??

First make sure the page is fully loaded before you try accessing the menu's.

If that doesn't solve it, you will need to provide a link to a thread showing this problem, so we can see the page source.

If needed provide a test login.

Here is one thread that doesn't work, even if when it's fully loaded.

Note: When I click on the little A (on the quick reply) on these threads it doesn't work too...

do you have any custom rules in your css for this style?

Umm, custom rules I don't think so, but I have custom css yes??

I also don't see so fast what is wrong, but the page source does look a bit messy to me.

A reason that it works on some pages and not on others, could be that some has a problematic signature, or an advertisement breaking the page.

You could start by disabling view signatures in your UserCP options, and see if that solves it. Then you can work from there.

Otherwise you could best take a working and a non-working page, and compair their sources. There must be some tag not properly closed or something like that.

Thanks, I'll check that out :)

This is what I found, where I think the error is with zsCompare:
