I can log in fine, using Chrome and uBlock - but CP is on the whitelist.
If you whitelist CodeProject (a good idea anyway) you will probably be able to login and block ads from other pesky sites.

I have an idea that should be easy to implement that would help with this.

Why don't you use the scoring system? Thread with highest rep points (including topic starter comment and all responses).

All of my threads are pure gold. It would be too much of a burden on the CP staff to pick the best one, so to save you guys work, I vote that you reject this request.

Why limit it to years ? Why not a Thread of the quarter, month, week, and day, for each Forum on the site ?
And, why not special awards per Forum per time interval as above ... in categories like: Most Congenial, Most Literate, Most Esoteric, Best Formatted Code, Most Diversity Inclusive, Most Off-Topic, Most Sociopathic ?
Rounding out the award smorgasbord could be a category of Least Awarded ... but, what to do in case of ties ?
Of course, that's just for a start !
cheers, Bill

Currently when you hover on the "articles" menu, you cannot ever click on any item on it because the first item "chapters and sections" will always trap as the first item that automatically expands to replace the menu and so you can never reach any of the child items on the "articles" drop down.
It should either have a hover timer (meaning if you hover over that item for x[ms] expand it) or make it click to expand to avoid having it trap all mouse movement and preventing access to any of the other child items on the menu. Alternatively, move it to the bottom of the list as to make it non-blocking on all other items.

This has already been reported and I'm unable to replicate the issue. I'm on the latest Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and Edge.
Do you have any ad blockers installed? What browser and version?
cheers

This has absolutely nothing to do with an adblocker and is very easy to replicate.
1. Hover over the "articles"
2. See the drop down list
3. move your mouse down to try and click on say "latest articles"
4. the first link expands (with a quick spinner) and you never make it further
I can reproduce it on Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, Safari, and Edge, both regular profiles and clean stock profiles with nothing installed.
Would you like me to capture a video of it happening and show you? This is pure and simple the way the menu behavior has been coded and since it is the first item, it simply captures all movements first.

No, I believe you. I can, however, also show you a video of it working fine on my machine.
Can you help me out a little more:
- how is your internet connection? Fast, slow, reliable?
- If you hit F12 (or Ctrl-Shift-I) to bring up developer tools, do you see any javascript errors in the console?
- Do you have any add-ins installed in your browsers?
cheers

Of course, that's why I reported it 
Quote: No, I believe you. I can, however, also show you a video of it working fine on my machine.
I have no doubt, but sometimes development machines/environments can put us in a false sense of proper functionality, try it as an end user with a separate machine, separate browser that you don't use for development and see if it still works right, that's all I can suggest.
Quote: Can you help me out a little more:
Certainly, be happy to.
- how is your internet connection? Fast, slow, reliable? Very fast, very stable. I am on a multiple T3 network with redundant OC3 backbone. But again, this is not the issue, the menu rendering is simple CSS and not that heavy to be an internet issue. At 3000+ kbps bandwidth, I can download an entire Linux distribution in less than 30 seconds.
- If you hit F12 (or Ctrl-Shift-I) to bring up developer tools, do you see any javascript errors in the console? Nope, absolutely nothing. Again, I am confident it is not an error but how it is coded in that it captures the mouse event, loads that particular expandable and replaces the main drop down menu, it is not failing to load or not loading making it a JS error or networking error, it is simply how the UI behaves. I honestly believe seeing it in action will help you, so I am going to link the MP4 and GIF showing it to make it more clear what I am seeing, who knows it might help.
- Do you have any add-ins installed in your browsers? Of course, who doesn't right  but again none of them would be messing with the page render, website's GUI, etc. and certainly not so much so granular to target this specific menu on this specific site. That's why I also tested it specifically in "stock" (meaning has nothing) profiles to ensure that there is no interference, not my first rodeo and still the same behavior.
Let me know what else I can provide to help but in the meantime, here is the link to the MP4 and GIF showing the observed behavior since I can't put them inline here (which you might want to look into providing some capability for that given the nature of the site) and also note that I am still not getting notifications for any of these replies, here or in the other thread - that issue still remains. I just happen to be on the site through out the day, so I see them.

MY guess is that it's the left:100% CSS directive that is meant to place the flyout menu to the exact right of the dropdown menu, but I don't know why it's an issue on your machine and not others'. Maybe some regional settings.
I asked for the other info just to doubly ensure there wasn't something else. There's been many times I've tried to diagnose something only to find out an ad blocker is causing the issue, or a firewall is blocking a javscript file from loading.

I understand, but not the case for me. As I said, I immediately tried it in a stock profile on Firefox first to make sure and then repeated it in every browser copy we keep for development and testing and it kept happening. I can't say for sure why it is happening, I suppose I can dig in the DOM code as it is loaded and see what's happening by debugging it, but figured your code might be easier for you on your end. If I discover something, I will let you know.
Edit: I have narrowed it down to being something within the Firefox 56+ browser: Quote: This site appears to use a scroll-linked positioning effect. This may not work well with asynchronous panning; see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/ScrollLinkedEffects for further details and to join the discussion on related tools and features!
With that in mind, I decided to try it on a pre-webext ESR build and found that it worked fine there. On an insider build of Edge (instead of the current release where it was happening as well) and found that it doesn't occur there, meaning on Edge it expands normally and does NOT replace the original menu like you saw in the video. Running on Chrome 62 it occurs the same way but on the Canary build it did not occur. So it seems to be a conflict with some new standard they are pushing towards and it might be worth looking into, even though it may not be as widespread, it is still an issue worth nipping in the bud.

I have the same issue.
On chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) (also in incognito window so no plugins or anything)
On firefox 57.0.4 (64-bits)
On Brave (yeah I even tried it there  )
On IE version 11.192.16299.0
Works as should on Edge tho.
Tried it on different resolutions (no change)
No errors in console.
If you need me to test / try anything let me know.
[Update] I don't have it at home (unless you changed something already) [/UPDATE]

Did you ever get this fixed?
If so I'm afraid I have to report it's back.
If not, ignore this message

I did. It was fixed perfectly. Then it stopped working again. I found the issue this time and will deploy probably tomorrow.

Just for the record I have never seen this problem on my PC using the latest version of Chrome, or on my iPad with Safari. The articles dropdowns all work and expand (or not) as expected.
