login difficulties from PaleMoon browser
Hello. I've been using PaleMoon for a long time now and usually everything works well, but today, I tried to log in to VGMdb and the usual drop down menu in the upper right corner didn't show up.
There's a clickable "Login" element there, but it does nothing at all. After trying to refresh, clear cache, and other fruitless attempts, I finally snapped and used the login form from the forums, so I could post this. Just letting you know. |

Do you have any addons, such as NoScript or uBlock Origin installed? They could be blocking the script(s) that enable the dropdown menu.

I have an ad blocker, but I already disabled it and nothing changed.
But I now found how to "fix" this. PaleMoon has a built-in user-agent spoofing functionality. Can be set to "Native", "Gecko Compatibility", and "Firefox Compatibility". I chose FF and the login dropdown now appears again. Your server doesn't like PaleMoon. Last edited by radorn; Dec 21, 2017 at 07:58 AM. |

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Gigablah or Secret Squirrel could probably fix it rather quickly.

I downloaded version 27.6.2 (64-bit) of PaleMoon and the dropdown menu works fine for me.

Update: I set the user-agent to "Native" and the menu breaks.
Looks like the javascript for the vBulletin menu is not being loaded. It's actually scrubbed from the template. Turns out that there's a conditional for this in default vBulletin code: Code:
// turn off popups if they are not available to this browser if ($vbulletin->options['usepopups']) { if ((is_browser('ie', 5) AND !is_browser('mac')) OR is_browser('mozilla') OR is_browser('firebird') OR is_browser('opera', 7) OR is_browser('webkit') OR is_browser('konqueror', 3.2)) { // use popups } else { // don't use popups $vbulletin->options['usepopups'] = 0; } } I'll just remove the conditional around the script element. It should work now. |

Thank you!
although, I'm probably leaving FF compat for a while, at least, because other sites also seem not to like palemoon sometimes and I have to go back to using FF for those, so I want to see how that goes now. |
