Recommended button and 5 Newest button not working on some discussions

Last edited Sun Sep 15, 2024, 12:41 PM - Edit history (1)

I cannot find a pattern for discussions for which these buttons work and those for which they do not work. It is not the biggest issue in my life, but just curious if others experience this or is it just my computer: Win 10, any browser.

Expected behavior: Click on button and relevant answers are highlighted, along with button clicked.
Actual behavior: Click on button and nothing changes.

But you said "any browser", which kind of rules out browser and any extensions.

I use several browsers (not on windows) and sometimes I use an extension to disable javascript (to stop nag popups) and forget to turn JavaScript back on.

That's all I can offer, in case it helps. Resetting the browser (clear history ands cookies) usually clears up my problems. Besides my own forgetfulness, mentioned above.

The buttons seem to work consistently or me, but if you have a particular discussion it's not working on for you provide a link and I'll give it a try.

P.S. I use Chrome pretty exclusively.

This discussion exhibits this behavior in the latest Firefox using a profile with add-ons, the latest Firefox using a default profile without add-ons, and in the latest Chrome browser using a default profile without add-ons:
