Having some drop down problems...

[da420]

Hello,

On my vBulletin forum. All my drop downs are broken. I noticed it this morning. I didn't change anything, it just happened it seems like. Basically, I woke up noticing it and thought it was just my browser then I came across a thread and noticed many users are having this problem as well. When I first noticed it was a problem with everyone I only thought it was the navbar so I reverted the navbar template and I am still having the same problem. Then I noticed that not only that it was the "Search Thread," and "Thread tools" menus. Not only are the drop downs missing, the menus show up at the bottom of the page.

To assist you in helping me I have attached my navbar template and a couple of pics on what the issue is. If you need anything else to help assist, I will gladly provide.

Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. This is really bugging me.

Thanks.

Dustin.

1st attachment: navbar
2nd and 3rd attachment: problems with search thread etc

[da420]

I have also disabled all products and I am still having this problem.

Thanks again in advance.

EDIT: heh, this is fixed. I disabled AJAX, then reenabled it. Now it works. Weird, huh?

[ronman]

Can anybody give a reason for this?
I'm having the same issue, and tried the rather specious suggestion of disabling and reenabling AJAX, but that didn't work...
