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?

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?

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.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
