Anyone else having problems with comment count button at the top of news articles.


Recommended Posts

That button at the top of news articles which tells you how many comments there are and when clicked takes you to them, no longer works for me. It does nothing when I click it. Anyone else having the issue? I've had this issue on every one of my computers.

 

Thanks

I just tried it and it's working for me on Firefox. Have you got any add-ons enabled, like NoScript or uBlock?

Just tried it on Firefox 88.0.1 with no addons installed. This laptop also has no AV other than windows security. Does nothing when I click on it. Doesn't work in edge either. Doesn't work at my house or my girlfriends house. On my desktop workstation at home or the laptop here.

I'm not sure what to suggest, but I've tried it on three different articles and it jumps down to the comments each time. I admit that it's strange that it's happening on all your computers though. What happens if you use your phone, connected to your phone network and not the Wifi?

Great idea!! ..........aaaaand it doesn't work on my iPhone SE 2020 on cellular either.

Anything in the browsers developer tools console being reported loading the site or clicking on the link?

 

There just simple hrefs no special sauce, so I can't see why it wouldn't work.  Right-click open in new tab work?

Another great idea! Lemme check

Didn't see much in developer tools, but one think I did notice, is that if I scrolled down the page a tad, and still had that button visible, when clicking it , it would take me back to the very top of the page... so that's something i guess.

So I just tried in in Safari on Big sir with no extensions and not logged into my neowin account ,and it does the same thing.

 

I also created a poll on the subject.

    • Still hate Windows 11, I stuck it on my gaming machine again just for a nose to see what they had done, still as bad. Will restore Windows 10 back on it, suit MS anyway, they don't want me to run Windows 11 on it.
    • Ms did go with the you must sign into an account thing with Windows 8 for a while. The same sort of thing they are doing with Windows now and the MS account.
    • Hello, What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.).

    • Windows 8? Nah. I found Window 8 worked well, get a third party start menu to get rid of the start screen, I used Start is back and windows 8 was pretty good. I used it even when Windows 10 came out as I found Windows 10 was iffy on my machine at the time was AMD FX Bulldozer based. It was only when I updated the innards to Ryzen that I had no choice but to go to Windows 10 as MS made it difficult to stay with Windows 8. ME, yes, that was not great, I liked the look of it, but it was not stable, shame really because Windows 98SE was the best of the dos based Windows.
