He's such a joker, our Sean.

When I try to log in using any version of 'sign in' that I can find, the fields for email and password are covered by the 'new member' fields, or they do not show up. JS is working for this site.

Sorry: I was unable to use the forum until I signed in, and I could not sign in, at least according to the information available on the forum page.
Regardless, subsequent to signing in, I found another post about the same issue, and the response mentioned ad blockers. I was trying out UBlock Origin. Having disabled it, I can now sign in.

Thanks for the update.

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.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

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.
