I can't download anything from this site

[jgrvm]

I've disabled my firewall, my antivirus program, and set my internet security settings to the lowest possible, yet when I click on the green "download" button on any mod on this site, simply nothing happens. It's as if I didn't click it at all. Can you think of anything I might be missing that would cause this?

Have you tried other browsers?

Are you using IE7? (Not supported here)

Have you tried disabling compatibility mode? (IE only)

Do you use any ad blocking add ons?

Other add ons?

 

Something in this might help

 

The new site has been tested with all of the popular browsers. It works.

 

We cannot fix your computer for you. However, we can give advice on what may the problem.

 

We no longer support IE7. It is obsolete. If you have a newer version of IE and are using compatibility mode - you are effectively using IE7.

 

Some security programs - firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, pop up blockers etc can block the sites from working properly.

 

What we need to give advice What Operating System? WinXP, Vista, Win7. (we don't have any info on Win8 yet) What browser? and what version? IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera etc. What security add ons to your browser? Ad blockers, pop up blockers etc.

 

More info You could try a portable version of the browser - It doesn't need to be installed at all. and can work from a USB stick. If it works with the portable version, and not your installed version of the same browser then the problem is likely some add on or setting on your end. While we cannot fix your end, we can give some advice as to what you can do to fix it. To give advice, we need as much information on your browser and settings as you can give us.

 

To find the portable version of your preferred browser, (If it is not shown ) google it. Here is a site that has several: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?sc=8

 

NOTE: IE7 is NOT supported, and will not be in the future as it is obsolete.

 

Here are LHammonds test results for the New Nexus sites using a variety of portable browsers

 

Quote Firefox is the Nexus-recommended browser (so says me). I initially could not get content loaded when going tab to tab such as the Files tab, images tab, etc. but I realized NoScript was blocking it so once I allowed all scripts to run, it worked fine after that.

 

Dark0ne tries to make the site work well with Firefox and Internet Explorer...anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.

 

I have tested the following browsers:

Firefox Portable 6.0 http://portableapps....irefox_portable

Google Chrome Portable 13.0.782.112 http://portableapps....chrome_portable

Iron Portable 13.0.800 (based on Google Chromium) http://portableapps....t/iron_portable

Opera Portable 11.50 http://portableapps..../opera_portable

Maxthon Portable 3.1.5.1000 http://portableapps....axthon_portable

Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421

 

NOTE: The above "portable" browsers can be used by anyone. They do not require "installation" so there is zero impact on your computer...simply extract them, run the program to test it out, then delete once done. All tests were performed with the software as configured straight "out-of-the-box" without any tweaks or changes.

Are you on a small res that means you don't notice the tabs changing further down the page?

[amycus]

It does sound like you haven't noticed the tabs down being changed. To clear up any misunderstandings, the green "download" button doesn't take you to the download straight away. Instead it updates the information further down to show the available downloadable files for that mod. So, after you click the green downloade button, you scroll down where the downloadable file(s) are, then click it and it asks you to choose a server after a short advertisement. After that the download initiates.

I have problems downloading files too. Whenever I simply click on the file, it reloads the page and nothing happens. I have counteracted the problem by opening the link in a new tab, then it seems to work. ;)
