Can you tell me what issues you're having and how you're connecting to the site?

Unable to click on messages and like

My name is not at the top of the page. Answermug is now in the middle of generic advertising usually found on news sites. All the choices to add a picture, change the font etc is gone and replaced with a small "reply" text box.

The only thing I see is the chat room is gone. I am using a desktop, windows 10 and firefox as a browser.

* A list of all issues you're experiencing

Blank Quick Reply, no ability to change fonts, add pics, etc.
No Chat Box
My name missing from top of page
No drop down menu under Questions - no Rosie's Corner
There's nothing under What's Happening On the Mug
Pretty much all of the same issues as those before me.
Responses to comments are at the bottom of the page rather than under the person's original comment.

Home page button is gone.
The back-to-top arrow is gone.

Clicking the following buttons does not work at all: menu, private messages envelope icon, friends list, questions, categories, like, reply, quick reply, comment, edit. I can post new questions, but cannot reply, comment or edit.
The options box is gone completely (font sizes, colors, photos, gifs, YouTube videos, etc.)
My user name does not appear at the top of the page, so I can’t access any of the functions that open within it.
When clicking the My Profile button, the Activity — More Activities button does not open up its dropdown box.

I’m using an iPhone, Safari, I don’t know all the version info. Wait, I don’t know any of the version info.
Following another member’s suggestion, I switched over from Duck, Duck, Go to Google, but it resulted in no change whatsoever with the glitches.

The link below is from a question I posted 8am Monday morning February 1st. By Wednesday, after logging off then back on, I lost all of the functions.

I have only one issue on my Android. Cannot make a link live.  With Samsung internet on mobile. Android 7.0

On my desktop, everything is fine but I cannot post a photo. 
Win 10, Chrome 
Version 88.0.4324.104 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Site goes through the process of picking a photo, puts the name of the photo in the Upload box but stops there. Does not actually do the upload. 

(Update: as of today Fed 4) Chrome on Desktop now: Just a simply text box for quick reply. (So no picts etc) No like, subscribe, reply. But I can edit. Not notifications or messages No Happening Now page. I checked for Chrome update and it updated but did not bring back functions. Google Chrome is up to date Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (64-bit) This post was edited by my2cents at February 5, 2021 3:19 PM MST

I went to try to use another desktop browser.
I am getting all the other issues.

Cannot reply to an answer.
Quick Reply only text box is offered so no way to post picts or change fonts etc.
No Notifications.
Top menu says MY PROFILE instead of my2cents
Home page is blank just has the background format What's Happening Now... but shows no activity.

Desktop Win 10, Microsoft Edge

Element: I can't like or reply. I can't believe all of these people have been affected by the snow. Rosie is out in CA and I don't even see her corner.

Element99, SpunkySenior, and all others: if weather is part of the cause for some of these glitches, it doesn’t matter what the individual users’ locations are, it’s the location of the servers or other hubs that mandate the website’s traffic.

I use to get really upset at things like this but as of now, I don't care anymore. The reason being is that I no longer take this website or anything that seriously. There are a few hiccups here and there as far as logging into the site. This post was edited by Zack at February 3, 2021 7:05 PM MST

I'm copying and pasting my reply to Element's question that I misread:

Issues - message and notifications are not accessible at all, no chat feature - seems to have disappeared completely, cannot reply to other people's replies, cannot see 'home page', cannot ask questions.

I've tried Chrome and Edge browsers, no differences. I am using a less than 2 year-old Lenovo laptop, Windows 10.

I can't send message and notification bell is dead. I can't ask a question or reply to a comment. The only thing I can do is answer a question in a "quick reply" box that is about 1/2" tall. This is the fourth day. I'm using a desktop with Windows 7 and Firefox 81.0.2. I have not changed anything on my end. Also the little feedback 'always on top' button is gone. I send a feed back message by clicking the feedback link at the bottom of a page. I could not find the Answerbag group or page on Facebook. Did you take it down? I was going to try to reach you that way. Anyway, thanks for posting this question.

 IPhone XR, iOS 14.4.

On Safari  I can use all the regular functions except there is no full text editor when posting a question (no option to post media etc) I do have these options when answering, commenting with Safari. 

When using Duck Duck Go nothing is working. I can’t hit the menu to look at questions, notification button does not work. PM button does not work. I can’t reply to a comment or post any pictures/ videos in replies. 

I also tried Chrome App out of curiosity and it’s the same result as DDG. 

All three browsers are latest versions. 

 

I opened on my phone using Chrome and got all the same issues. 

Cannot like, subscribe, reply. 
No messages, no notifications cannot lock screen.  
Just small text box for quick reply. 
I have active Homepage but if I tell it to use desktop mode then Homepage goes blank. 

Also in Chrome there are ads at the bottom of screen.  But not on Samsung Internet. 

Screenshot of Chrome top screen:

Screenshot of Google Chrome info: notice latest update Feb 1st.

Don't know it it matters but I have ads on Firefox, and Edge but not Chrome.

Just wanted to thank you all for your insights. I’ve forwarded this thread to the dev and he’s watching it and investigating.

* A list of all issues you're experiencing

I can't click on the private message button, the friend request button, the notifications button, the choose a category botton, reply to a post or like a post. The choose a category button is cut off after "choose a ca". The front page where the recent posts were displayed is now blank.

I can only use the quick reply box, but there are no options above the quick reply box. I can't add pictures or videos. I can't change the text styles.

I can ask questions by clicking on Ask a Question on the bottom of the page, but I still can't upload pictures or videos or use different text styles.
