I know, this is very vague, but perhaps someone encountered the same problem and found the solution...
I have new OS, updated Opera browser (I prefer that for faster questing options). So finally after months I can battle and see hovers again.
Yet the forums are not working - I don't see any postings in the threads, I can answer, though. Also I only get the intro page, when I open the wardrobe link.
My privacy and tracking settings are pretty strict - maybe I need to allow something to make forums and the outside page with wardrobe work? I hate having to resort to a different browser for boards and wardrobe!
