    Curious why the forum area line descriptions are no longer active links? Example:

    "Forum, General Political Chat, Current Events" were active links. Not any more. It's much more difficult to navigate.

    A better title would have been "missing links". Too late to edit

    Some things may have changed during maintenance. I shall inquire within. :)

    Edit...it works for me. Not sure if I understood you correctly. I clicked on the 'link' you provided, and it works for me, as well as the link atop the forum.

    That works fine

    I'm thinking it's a rights issue

    I just copied and pasted the existing link. If you can use it, you should be able to use the other as well?

    Shang,

    I checked this on all other vBulletin forums and it works fine. Just not here.

    Lets wait and have a few other members chime in and see if others have the same issue.
    It might be a residual issue due to the site maintenance last night, a random glitch, or a ghost. Who knows anymore.
    But lets wait a bit.

    Not yet. The thank you was for the assist.

    EDIT:

    I just noticed that embedded video links show as black squares. No link there either

    I just made a note of this as well, and had the same problem, which seems to come and go.

    Shang,

    It is related to my login. When I'm not logged in I see video fie and the links work perfectly. I've looked at user options more than once but can't find anything.

    Shang,

    I'm convinced that when the latest maintenance was performed, changes were made to the site's aspect ratio. When I change my settings so that the links work, all of the sites in other open tabs are messed up.
