SnoopZ Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have an issue since the Forum was upgraded where when i hover over the 'News' 'Forum' and 'More' menus the menus flash up for a split second then vanish. It seems to be only when using Google Chrome on my Windows 7 machine as it works fine on the other with Vista and Chrome on it and it also works properly in IE, Firefox and Opera. Does anyone have an idea how i can fix this and whether it is an issue with Neowin, Google Chrome and Windows 7 as it was fine before the upgrade?

Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 2, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted October 2, 2011 have you tried doing a hard refresh "ctrl + f5"? mr0mega 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Just tried it, still not showing the menus. I had this problem along with lots of other people when Neowin first changed the front page as it displayed the same symptoms while using the Chrome dev version and they fixed it. But i am getting it in both versions of Chrome and only on 1 of my computers and the only thing that is different is 1 is Vista and the other is Windows 7. I haven't seen anyone else reporting this problem, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timan Veteran Posted October 2, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2011 Does this happen on the main page? Just forums? or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 It happens on both, i just don't understand it as it was ok before the Forums got upgraded. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted October 2, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well I'm pretty certain the main page was not touched after the forum upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Looks like i am stuck with it unless it is a problem with this computer and only with the menus on Neowin, very strange, i may try removing and re adding Chrome later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well reinstalling Chrome didn't work! I also can't get the 'Welcome 'username' box up either which means i can't log out the normal way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted October 3, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's difficult to pin down when the same setup works for other members, I suggest disabling your add-ons (if you have them) one by one to see if it fixes it?

SnoopZ Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 i tried disabling all the addons yesterday and i still have the issue. I does look like i am the only 1 with this problem so it must be an issue on that PC, but no idea where and i don't want to reinstall windows.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted October 4, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2011 i tried disabling all the addons yesterday and i still have the issue. I does look like i am the only 1 with this problem so it must be an issue on that PC, but no idea where and i don't want to reinstall windows. No, I have it too (with Chrome "stable" v14.0.835.187). It probably coincides with an inability to edit posts. I have another box with a nightly version of Chromium that works fine and an old version of FireFox works on this same computer that Chrome stable does not. I was going to edit my post to add that it is a pretty vanilla installation too. It does have AdBlock Plus installed but that, naturally, has neowin.net whitelisted so that the ads do appear. Hopefully these two posts auto-join or I'll need to get Firefox 3.6 out of storage. SnoopZ 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timan Veteran Posted October 4, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2011 If you have this issue and you're familiar with webkit's inspector, can you try removing -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); from #navigation > ul > li > a and see if it still happens?

I'm not familiar with any of that, but if you help me out i will try in my morning tomorrow before i go to work on the PC that is affected as i am not on that right now.

SnoopZ Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 OK i have figured out how to access Webkit Inspector and now i need a little help in searching for the command you wish me to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Edit... I figured out how to disable the above command, however it still doesn't solve my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted October 5, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hmm, I can't get this to happen, so its hard to debug :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yes it is very strange, would love to know what the cause is seeing it works on the Vista laptop but not on the Win 7 desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Topham Hatt Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 No, I have it too (with Chrome "stable" v14.0.835.187). It probably coincides with an inability to edit posts. I was going to edit my post to add that it is a pretty vanilla installation too. It does have AdBlock Plus installed but that, naturally, has neowin.net whitelisted so that the ads do appear. Hopefully these two posts auto-join or I'll need to get Firefox 3.6 out of storage. I had the problem of not being able to edit posts but a re-install of Chrome solved this issue. The only thing I can think could have possibly caused it was that I changed the size of the reply and quick reply boxes (using the bottom right control). My chrome version was the latest too, so I don't understand how a re-install has made it work now. Did you do a FULL uninstall of Chrome? I only saved my saved passwords and bookmarks (from the "User Data" folder), but deleted everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
