 * Which browser do you use? There have been some issues lately with dropdowns in Internet Explorer 9. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  08:10, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Did you disable javascript? If the bar at the bottom doesn't stay at the bottom of your screen you might have. Else it's another javascript related problem. Either that or you're using some kind of blocker (like NoScript). You can log out through Special:UserLogout btw. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 08:12, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

If javascript is disabled i did not do it on purpose. how do I check it and turn it on if it is off. I don't use explorer 9 at work & that is where i first noticed the problem. Robert Alvarez 09:41, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yea, but which browser do you use? Checking whether javascript is enabled is a bit different for every browser. ;) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:51, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

The one i am using here at home is explorer 9 Robert Alvarez 10:24, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * The easiest thing to do is look for the chat module in the rail here. If you can't find it, or you see an empty module, you don't have JS enabled.

The same problem for me started yesterday. When I went to sleep Tuesday night, everything was working fine, but when I woke up Wednesday morning, I was having this problem and stil am. It's only happening with Wikia, but I haven't messed with any settings or anything. Help would be very much appreciated. Also, I'm using IE9 as well. --StrikerBack 18:21, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * There have been several issues with the navigation bar across several wikis that are caused by a CSS modification or having too many menus on the navigation bar. This shows the dropdown indicator underneath the text, thus making the menu untidy. This issue can be sorted through fixing MediaWiki:Wikia.css or removing some menus. I'm on Firefox 4 and this has been seen on quite a few wikis. Must be a software update. GG (talk) 18:42, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * This reminds me one thing... User blog:Sarah Manley/Improving Accessibility on Wikia. A kind of fail that one can't reach the login link if JS fails to load (normal users don't know that a special URL for that exist). There's a lot of room for improvements here. I was wrong since the failing link is the log-out, not the log-in. Not so bad then. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 18:49, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * The problem for me is seemingly everything that uses JS has stopped working. I can't use any drop down menu, including the edit/move/history/delete one, the Wikia bar or the navigation bar. The bottom toolbar no longer moves, and none of the links on it are working. Recent changes is having problems as well, and is showing things that I didn't choose, but am unable to hide. These problems (and more) are happening on every Wikia wiki but on no other site, and as far as I know, I didn't do anything to cause it and I doubt anything happened while I was sleeping Tuesday night. --StrikerBack 19:15, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
