Maunually downloading file and general links problem

[Needlz]

Starting last night every time i go to manually download a file it opens a new tab instead of the small window and I go to click a server and nothing loads or happens and then I cant click any links even on the modders page that has the download with NMM and download manually files. I've rebooted turned off my adblocker and even tried it on IE (using firefox) and I'm still having problems!

I am actually having the exact same issue. I tried even changing my preferences to open a new window and to not. I have rebooted. Logged out of the site and f5 a few times to be sure.

Still won't download anything.

Anyone know of a fix cause there are a few mods i need to make my game run smoother and they are all download manually

I'm having an even worse problem...when I click on just about everything on the nexus page nothing happens....

For example I was trying to get an optional file for Skyrim Flora Overhaul and so I get to that mod's page and click on the download link and nothing happens....scratch that the page refreashes when I click on anything! I click on images, same thing....I click on posts, same thing.....

This is happening to me for all mods and not just on the skyrim nexus. Just tried to download an Oblivion mod.....

I also just noticed that I can't even click on the search button anymore...

What the hell is wrong with the nexus?

Ditto for me. I can't click anything anymore

At least the forums are still working so I can rage on them >:(

 

This has been happening for 2 days straight. :dry:

Any Anchor-type ("<a href...") buttons or links not functioning but refreshing the page is the result of a javascript error on the page. Those anchors are always programmed with an "onclick" attribute calling a javascript function ending with "return false;", as this aborts the href linking. However, if there's an error in javascript anywhere on the page, these functions will not be called and the href will link to its destination, which normally is "empty" and as such gets filled with the page url.

 

This malfunction was bothering me that much that I now remove all "href=..." attributes entirely from my anchors, whether they have an "onclick" attribute calling javascript or receive their function after page load from jQuery. Anchors without an "href=..." attribute cannot mislink anymore when their function's damaged for some cause. However, this of course still doesn't "fix" the javascript error causing the malfunction to begin with.

Interesting

 

How did you do that exactly? What are anchors and how do you modify them?

I can't replicate this problem in the latest vanilla versions of IE, Firefox and Chrome; all the pages and links work fine for me.

 

As such if you're having problems or receiving errors I'm going to need a more technical explanation of what you're doing and what, if any, errors you're receiving.

All right,

 

After seeing Drake's stuff about Java I realized that my Java updated right after this update of the site. I uninstalled and reinstalled Java and at first it didn't help. Then I restarted the computer (duh) and everything is back to normal.

 

I hope this helps the rest of you that are having this issue as no obvious errors "popping" up on this.
