[Bug] The top navigation and hide game popups stopped working on the main page

Open

I'm not sure if I should open a support ticket instead, but as this section seems to exist for this purpose:

I'm using Firefox 54.0 x86 on Win7 Sp1 x64, and in the last 1 or 2 days the top navigation and the hide game popups on the main page stopped working. If I go to a GA's page, the navigation works as it should.

First I thought it was something related to userscripts, as SteamGifts++ stopped working at the same time too, but I tested with Greasemonkey disabled, and the problem persists. I tried emptying the cache too, no change.

i still don't think most people believe me, but disabled scripts can still cause conflicts and issues. i don't know if that is the case here or not, but most people are not aware of that (and those i tell, typically don't believe me).

I think that should be reported to Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey, disabled scripts should not interfere in any way on the page. I have yet to see this happen for myself.

this script can be installed, and then disabled, and most chrome users will experience steam store login consistently dropping to the point where you need to login the steam store ~6-8x a day. it took 2 or 3+ different users communicating and troubleshooting before one of us finally realized it was that script doing it even while disabled.

i've also had dark theme interfere with esgst when it was installed thru userstyles script version rather than stylish even when it was disabled until squished patched it.

But regardless of that, I haven't installed any new scripts for at least half a year, and while I'm using the site multiple times a day, this issue has never occurred before.

any new yes, but did any of the scripts you use push an update? if not then you're right it would be extremely unlikely to be any form of conflict unless perhaps cg made some change to the site (which he did).

June 21, 2017
Updated software on SteamGifts' web servers.
Updated software on SteamGifts' task server.
Updated software on SteamTrades' web servers.

it's still ofc more likely that it was just something in one of those changes though really. (excluding anything to do with scripts)

edit: i'd try flushing dns

command prompt (admin)

ipconfig /flushdns

One of the disabled scripts did update recently - now I removed that, as well as most other disabled scripts I had installed, but it still doesn't solve the issue :/

i edited that last comment, did you by chance try that dns flushing?

restarting your internet router & that dns flush are about the only other two ideas i can come up with. good luck. =)

Thanks, I tried that, but didn't make a difference.

Thanks, found the culprit, FoxReplace has been updated on 20 June, and apparently that's the one messing up the site. I haven't figured out exactly why one of my replacement sheets started breaking the site with the update, but at least I can disable it in the meanwhile.
