Quick quote/reply, menus, video player not working

[Topic was: Quick reply and quick quote not loading - gmax]

This just started happening to me. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Also, I noticed some flash stuff on the main page not working correctly. Don't know if that's related.

Ok, and unable to access my PMs. When I try to go to that little button by name, nothing appears.

I am also having this problem TC... The drop down bar for logging in is not working, the sub menu's under each platform icon (XBOX, PC, wii) has stopped working, and quick reply and edit message has also stopped. Cleared cache, Rolled over to google chrome (default is firefox), and even Opera and still have the issue. No idea what is really going on.

I'm in the same boat.

Also, the dropdown menus to edit, delete and report posts are gone.

You're not the only one who is having that problem OP :(, i can't access Quick Quote and PM too!

I'm having the same problem as well. It was working fine for me yesterday, but now it isn't. I'm using Firefox 5.

This sounds like another outbreak of corrupted javascript files (resulting from gzip encoding of truncated files). Check your browsers javascript/error logs as dab suggests. See what javascript files are causing errors. Tell us what browsers you have. If the outbreak is short-lived, clearing your browsers' caches may get you through it a little sooner. If the outbreak lasts as long as similar outbreaks have lasted in the past, it might go on for two or three days, and more aggressive workarounds (disabling gzip encoding) might be something to consider.

gmax

For those using Firefox, what are you seeing in your javascript/error console?

Okay.. So in the most dumbed down way possible, how do I fix this for Firefox? :P

My only other option to use Internet Explorer. Don't make me.. :|

Problem still exist though I changing the option in about:config for firefox does allow it to work again. Offcourse, that is a horrible idea to keep turned off as many websites will break and speed of loading any webpage goes up 10X fold (you turning off abilty of the website to send you compressed packs of information.. everything is uncompressed).... Guess we will all just have to wait for updates to come and fix the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion about the gzip encoding. I'm also experiencing this issue, and will try it out to see what happens. Interestingly, the issue only occurs on firefox and chrome, but not IE...

I should point out that I meant that I was experiencing the problem others were having with the drop-down menu in the upper-right not working, as well as videos not playing (the dreaded "flash player 10 is required" message), but it appears this is also related to some javascript problem. Sorry to hijack the thread.

I cleared my cache and tried configuring things, but it didn't work.

Internet Explorer, on the other hand, works, but I don't want use it. Guess there's something wrong with Firefox.

here is a scrnsht of my error console. not sure what to look for but i have plenty of errors on gamespot.com, and only from this site. also, the second java file gmax uploaded, is slightly truncated by about half a line. not sure if this helps... someone let me know if you need more.

sorry copied wrong link...

reup

sorry if you can't see it... still trying to figure out how to do a clickable thumbnail...

maybe this time...

@ gmax

Second file for me ends in

getElement(this.sel.user_cmd);


Other 2 javascript codes went through. Using firefox 3.6, palemoon 3.6, & firefox 5.0... Guess it will vary from person to person on what actually is breaking in the scripting.

Replying because I'm having the same issues with any standard page. Though on the bright side the E3 side works, so hop over to there if you want to access pms and stuff.

Also to post this:

It works in preview so hopefully It wont derp like it did for dbramage.

What this suggests to me is that global.min.js is the culprit, which was my guess. It looks like the entire file is actually there, but the way the error message is pointing after the end of the last thing in the file has me thinking there might be some binary garbage at the end.gmax

}.bind(this),blur:function(B){siteMasthead.search.set("opacity",A);}});}}}};window.addEvent("domready",function(){Object.each(siteMasthead.init,function(A){A.run();});});�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

I'm guessing those Diamond ? things are whats doing it.

Testing another post with a new stragety. I just diabled all Javascript on my IE9 browser including the Javasript on the advanced settings of my browserand enabled the editor now.

Just decided to download Chrome and see if that made a difference. Nope, everything that's broke is still broke.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Drop down box doesn't display when I hover over my username, quick quote/reply are not working either.

EDIT: NVM...After this post, I just updated my Java to the latest version (looks like they had a recent update I didn't know about...My computer didn't remind me of) and waited about half an hour. Everything started to work.

Unless he managed to get Java 7 early (comes out Jul 7th) the latest is 6 update 26. Which I have and it didn't help. So he might of done something extra.

Btw Java.com is the website for java lol. Look there for updates.

Yup...It was update 26.

I've always been able to view the site and play the Video Reviews on my Motorola Xoom tablet running HC 3.1 with Flash 10.3.

For the past few days, I've not been able to view the flash content. Just says you must have flash 10.3.

No problems on any other sites. Flash just works. So it's Gamespot's problem. Until it's fixed I will not visit the site on my tablet. I will have to go to that other site (I know that will really hurt).
