Anyone else ? On my laptop (W10, FF and other browsers) I usually click on the Categories button and it brings up the forum category list. Now the button, along with the Forum Home button, highlights when I click it but it doesn't do anything. I now have to scroll down to the bottom menu and click All Boards. Also when hovering over the buttons the scroll bar disappears so possibly linked to that previously reported problem.

    Hmm. There does seem to have been a change.

    It might be an intended change by our provider rather than a bug -

    I'm sure you've seen plenty of sites where the text that you hover over to open a menu isn't itself a link.
    That doesn't help if you've been using our little menu hack because with that you want them to be links.

    I've drafted a tweak and will add it later for those using the tweak to hide the menu.

    FYI to members using the fix because the menu is just to annoying, we are getting extra tools to 'properly' change the menu and give it a hover delay, but we're waiting until tools are a little less Beta.

    That's a small fix in place.

    Please let us know if there are any issues.
