    Hey there everyone...

    I have been working hard on my forum the last couple weeks redeveloping the default theme however now that we are complete i have noticed none of the drop down menus work on the navigation bar - you also can not click on a users name and click view public profile - nothing....

    Anyone has any suggestions? I have disabled all add-ons and it doesn't come back to working - The Pavilion Forums <-- if you want to see what I mean!

    Have you tried a new default skin with addons turned off? There may be some code missing from your navbar template, maybe compare the two or if you can replace, but make sure you back up the original code :)

    I love you for posting this!

    This is happening to me, on some forum sections none of the drop down menus are working. I asked vBulletin they said to disabled all my plugins/mods and check my files. I did. Still not working...

    Aparently it is a problem with the skin.

    Its normally down to missing code, I recommend comparing the two section of code with the default and see if theres code missing or errors.

    Create a new default and compare the two :)

    These dropdowns rely on Javascript. If you add javascript, even for ads, if it is not done correctly, you'll create errors and they will stop working.

    Can you understand English instead of just posting some bullsh*t response just to get your post count up read what the topic is about and what has been said this has nothing to do with what has been discussed and if you had taken the time to read instead of just posting to get your post count up you would see that I said I was using the default and edited it - so thanks for your useless post rated for helpfulness ZERO out of FOUR MILLION!

    Can you be a bit more appreciative of someone trying to help out is the question. Apparently not.

    This is not the default forum template, despite what you say about it.
    The problem here is somewhere in your template, most likely as wayne says, the javascripts not being proper (though IE doesn't show any errors and it would). Make sure you have the proper js menu definitions set in navbar, and in your header template (sometimes they're different).

    Go through your recent changes, reverse them, make sure that they didn't cause this problem, because somewhere, somehow, you've caused your dropdowns to stop working. I'm not talking "addons", I'm talking template edits, uploads, something, somewhere caused this. Start with the JS, because, as Wayne said, this is probably where your problem lies.

    + I have been appreciative which is why I click the button if the post was helpful and I reply with a thanks (see Wayne's post and my reply to it) I am not on here for idiots to say things that are not relevent just to improve their post count.

    + What I am using is the edited default theme... meaning I went to Styles/Templates - Edit - DEFAULT - and edited the CSS, and alignment and added advertising. So yes it is the DEFAULT theme no matter what you say.

    Obviously it's not.
    The default theme has no problems with javascript and dropdowns. As others have suggested, go back to the default theme. If you're having problems with javascript, redo your changes one by one until you find the dropdowns work.

    This is not the default theme. You have edited the theme, which makes it a NON default theme. Your edits have caused this problem.

    Obviously you are not understanding and think you are in the right no matter what is being said so in an attempt to try and clear it up for you so that the posts would hopefully turn into helpful rather than spamming to try and win prizes or make certain people look like the bigger people...

    Everyone was suggesting that I look at the DEFAULT theme and compare the code which is why I had to continue to say that it was the DEFAULT theme I had edited - meaning it was the DEFAULT theme that was edited (as said in what feels like 30 times so far in this thread) and therefore I am unable to compare the codes.

    Go to your Style Manager and click [Add New Style]

    awww.adminaddict.net_data_MetaMirrorCache_5447c6a931a4b21a16df376fcb50b5a1.gif

    Be sure NOT to give this new style a parent.

    Once you've set it up, you will have a fresh new style that is (if not by name) the defaul style that vB comes with.

    Then you can compare the two. :)
