Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted July 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2023 Good Morning everyone. For a week or so now whenever I click on either a topic on the right hand side, or one of my notifications, nothing happens, it will not go to the relevant page. I am running Windows 11 with Google Chrome. Anyone else having this problem, and anyone know a fix? Many thanks for any assistance.

Gsxrnz Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) I'm on Windows 10 and Chrome. No problems. Does the function work on other sites satisfactorily, or only a problem on Asean Now? Anyway, here's a link to "6 Bests Fixes for Google Chrome Not Opening New Tabs on Windows 11" https://www.guidingtech.com/fixes-for-google-chrome-not-opening-new-tabs-on-windows-11/#:~:text=Restart Google Chrome,might be causing the issue. It appears a restart of your computer and/or Chrome, plus clearing your cache should fix the problem. Edited July 13, 2023 by Gsxrnz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I though it was just me. On my phone I have to open each link in a new tab. On my PC it works fine though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Edge and Windows 10, it's not a disaster just an annoyance, open first item in new tab, then use as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, the same issues will probably apply to 10 and Edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 Many thanks Everyone, seems I am not alone, which, although not good for everyone, makes me feel a little better.. I have cleared the cache, and it works for a few times, then resorts back. I like the open in new tab option as a quick fix, again, thanks to all. Another problem I am having with Windows 11 is that on my home screen whenever I close a window, I have to wait up to 30 seconds before hovering the mouse over a shortcut will work. Apparently it is a Windows problem they are not ready to admit yet !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I've been having these issues for a while now using Apple mac mini and apple magic mouse, both newish. I use FF as a browser. It only affects title links and the star icon to the left of the title. I often need to right click and open in a new tab. It seems that refreshing the page or closing and reopening the tab might work sometimes. After opening the page in anew tab the problem often goes away. It manifests itself nearly every time I open the site fresh. It has to be an errant javascript link I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been getting fairly it regularly last couple of weeks I just close and open again, only ever been a first instance. I have also had it trying to open a notification while in messages, topic will not open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiochaser Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I have Norton 360. Links stop working sometimes when using the VPN. I have to turn the VPN off then back on to get the links to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoying. What I have noticed last few times is that when it happens there is a box among the topics on RH side with letters "ad" inside. Assumed it was advertising but if you click on it nothing happens, but could be links to ads that freeze the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I saw someone discussing this when it first happened 3 or 4 weeks ago. The reason was because I have ad-blocker switched on. When it happens I simply open up AN a second time and everything works as normal. Till next time ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to another members post I use adblocker, which appears to be why I only get an empty box with AD in it. I think I will keep using adblocker, and suffer the inconvenience of opening in another tab rather than get bombarded with useless ads covering the posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I also use an adblocker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
