    JM Footer in VBF hiding links...what is it hiding?

    In reading another thread concerning copyrights and publication rights on VBF here, I went to the bottom of the page to check out some of the legalese links. Problem is that the JM Copyright notice covers half the links and renders them unreadable and un-clickable.

    What are the hidden links to?

    -tg

    EDIT - if I helps, I'm using Firefox3RC1.... but I've seen this in previous versions of Firefox as well, I jsut never cared about it. As for IE, don't know as it isn't my primary browser.

    I'm using an earlier version of Firefox, and get a similar positioning... however, hovering over the links shows them in front of the text, and allows them to be clicked on.

    This issue does not happen for me in IE, which shows it correctly (all of the links in the white section).

    I get the same thing with IE7 with one notable exception. The links are clickable, just not readable.

    interesting... mine has it with thelinks behind the text, not only unreadable but unclickable.... I can get to the one on the far left (Legal Notice) and the one on the far right (Privacy Policy) ... it's the 2 or three in the middle I can't get to.

    Odd...

    As you are using an RC of Firefox, there is a chance it will be corrected in the final version... but if not I suspect we will need to wait for vBulletin to correct it.

    As a temporary workaround... click in the "Search" box near the bottom of the page, and press Tab a few times to select the links. You should then be able to press Space/Enter to use them.

    Well, this clearly demonstrates how often we all pay attention to the bottom of the main page.

    Re: JM Footer in VBF hiding links...what is it hiding?

    New info .... I just got the RC2 of FireFox..... and it's now "fixed" ..

    so maybe it was just a browser problem.

    And apparently a browser problem with IE if you managed to get FireFox to work.
