Solution: Apparently global.php was not recognizing chrome as a browser with popup capabilities so it was disabling it.

Open global.php in an editor.

Find:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['usepopups'] = 0; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['usepopups'] = 1; 


and all is solved.

I'm sure you could find out how to add Chrome to the if statement above this but this is a simple fix and if you have users who are using a browser without pop ups on it then they will just have to suffer!

Bumping an old post, but I recently noticed the issue with broken navbar links in Chrome and I applied a similar workaround in global.php

This small code edit basically add Google Chrome to the list of known browsers, in which popups are allowed

PHP Code:

// turn off popups if they are not available to this browser
if ($vbulletin->options['usepopups'])
{
    if ((is_browser('ie', 5) AND !is_browser('mac')) OR is_browser('mozilla') OR is_browser('firebird') OR is_browser('opera', 7) OR is_browser('chrome') OR is_browser('webkit') OR is_browser('konqueror', 3.2))
    {
        // use popups
    }
    else
    {
        // don't use popups
        $vbulletin->options['usepopups'] = 0;
    }
} 


So basically by just adding OR is_browser('chrome') did the trick of properly displaying the dropdown menus in navbar.

Hope this helps other users.
