more issues noticed in firefox on several different devices:
-if someone is on my ignore list, if, for some reason, i want to read what they posted in a thread, if i click the "view post", it does nothing. if i refresh the page and then hit "view post", the post shows up.
EDIT: refreshing the page and clicking 'view post' no longer shows the post.
EDIT 2: sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn show the post.
-if reading a thread and i want to go back to the subforum using the 'bar tab' along the top, like on this page if i were to click on the ">Forum Suggestions & User Assistance" along the top, clicking on it does nothing.
and since there are issues being addressed:
there has been a MAGICYCLE AD on the main forum page for months. as i am a paying premium subscriber, one of the features is supposed to be "NO ADS!" and yet there is, and has been a blatant ad on the main page. one of magicycle's bots/trolls was banned after posting garbage in the forums, so i wonder why this AD is still on the main page. screenshot below (shows up on multiple devices)

There were similar reports of these issues on one of other sites. The user there fixed their problem by clearing all the data stored. A possible fix for the issues would be clearing your computer of ALL BikeForums data: saved logins, history, links, permissions, etc. If you do try this route, please make sure you have your login information correct. If not, there should be a fix on Monday for the quick reply.

The problems I mentioned persist, and have not improved or changed for the better.
Also, when clicking on the main Bike Forums header logo after reading a thread, nothing happens, no redirect to the main page, nothing. For example: from this page in this thread, when I click on the main BF logo at the top left from this page, nothing happens, no redirection, nothing. I checked this in numerous threads, in several subforums, and it's the same result: read a thread, click on the BF logo at the top, nothing happens. Using the "back" button does go back to previous page.
No other sites / forums I frequent are having or had any issues on Firefox, Chrome, whatever.
Using BF on Chrome seems to be "normal".

If this was directed at what I posted, I have done all that stuff, several times. I even went so far as to uninstall, and then reinstall Firefox.

I'm noticing that when I reach the end of a thread page it doesn't auto-load the next page; I have to click "next page".

I just learned a trick to post from Firefox after I've hit "Post Quick Reply" and failed. Highlight and copy the text that went nowhere. Now quote somebody. Copy in your text, Cut the quote and hit Submit Reply. If this works again for me, you will see it. If it doesn't? I'll go hide.

Thanks, Firefox seems to be working well now.
Can the MAGICYCLE ad on the main page be addressed? (again, paid membership/subscription, logged in, it shows up on any browser, any device)

Chrome is working for me now today too after a week or so of being borked, I can give likes and post pics as normal, so fingers crossed its sorted.

a weird new 'issue' has showed up for me.
sometimes (has happened multiple times so far since the Firefox 'fix') in the quick reply box, the main forum page shows up. i am able to scroll through the page like it was the normal main page. hope this makes sense. attached is a screenshot.

It had to do with something called rocket loader. I'm not entirely sure what that was, but tech disabled it. As for the embedded videos, it's hard for us to pinpoint why some may show and why some may not show because of all of the different privacy settings on the sites that they are embedded from

yeah, it is extremely intermittent, but it did happen again right after i posted about it. not sure how it would be 'replicate-able'.
it has happened on two different devices, both on Firefox.
i have cleared cookies/cache/logged out/logged back in on each device.
it might just be one of those rare random occurrences that would be difficult to pinpoint the source, i don't know. just wanted to point it out in case it became a bigger issue for others / in the future.
would be curious as to whether anyone else has seen this.
