Maybe it's just me, which is completely plausible, but for quite some time now i haven't been able to use the drop down menu attached to my username in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This problem only occurs when im using my iphone, i literally have had to log in to shmax on my laptop everytime i wanted to contribute info or do anything that requires clicking on my username and accessing that menu. However, today when i tried going to shmax on my laptop the website itself wouldnt load up at all, on either of my home pc's. Idk y that is, and i realize these are more likely than not two completely seperate issues. But in summation, i am now only able to access the website via my iphone, but i can only access my username drop down menu via pc (when it's working). I hope that all makes sense lol.

drop-down on PC (Browser: Opera v12) and Droid Charge (Browser: Opera Mobile) work fine for me.

Sigh, just when you thought cross-browser issues were over and done with, mobile happened. Let's start with the desktop issues--which browser are you using?

shmax

Actually, there was indeed a bug affecting only non-logged-in users, which I just fixed. All better?

I use internet explorer on the desktop. As far as the bug concerning non-logged in users, I actually havent had to log in to shmax for months. Im always logged in on my mobile. I actually am unable to log out due to not being able to use the drop down menu lol. My mobile uses safari as the browser also.

The website now works on my desktop.

I should clarify on something i said earlier also. I still have to log in when using the site on my desktop but even after i log back out my mobile always shows me as logged in, regardless of what i do on the pc. I think i remember checking a box on my mobile to keep me logged in way back when. I believe that may have been around the time this all started. Now when i try clicking on my username it highlights the entire headline of the page rather than just my username. Its as if my username isnt a seperate, clickable option and that it is a part of the headline itself. At least thats the way its acting.

Are we talking about the iPhone?

Windrazor7

Yes on my iphone. Everything works perfectly on my desktop now.

This is proving to be pretty difficult to debug. I don't personally have an iphone, and neither of the two emulators I've tried exhibit the problem you describe. Are you using iPhone 4 or 5?

Tripredacus

If you can get the user agent of the phone, you could try replicating it using Firefox's User Agent Switcher.

Op can post user agent from here:

User Agent Switcher for Mozilla browsers here:

shmax

Yeah, I've tried fooling with user agent settings before in every browser from Safari to Chrome--none of them really fully duplicate the experience of being on an iPhone.

Windrazor7

Its an iphone 4. I mean, in all honesty it really doesnt bother me that much to use my laptop when i need to access that drop down menu. I only mentioned it in the hopes that it may be a quick fix. If its something that doesnt get resolved i wont be devastated so no hard feelings shmax lol. This bug aint tough enough to make me swear off shmax.com for good. As long as theres a loophole i think ill stick around lol.

I've fixed a number of bugs involving the profile drop-down menu and the header menu. Is this still an issue on the iPhone?

shmax

I haven't heard any further mutterings about this--can anyone confirm that the user avatar drop-down menu in the upper-right is still broken on the iPhone?
