    Over the last several days, I’ve tried seeing what’s available on beatthetimer.com, but the site is broken for Firefox (I use v11.0) and for Safari. The lead page opens up, but clicking on “List” or on any of the hotel links does nothing.

    This never happened before. Anyone else have this happen?

    Just checked today using FF. No issues for me. I've noticed some issues over the past few weeks, but I thought that they were cleared up. Maybe a browser/cookies issue?

    Hmmmm. I reset Safari and changed how it handles cookies, but no dice. Same thing with FF, and no dice. Never had this problem before and am stumped. Are you FF users using v 11?

    Further refinement of what’s not working: I can input search terms and have them come up, and I can click on the hotel’s name and be taken to that website; however, still no luck when clicking “List”, assuming there’re more than just the main page hotel list offering rooms; and clicking on “Book” for any of the hotels does nothing.

    Finally figured out the culprit: Do Not Track Plus extension. When I turned it off for the site, all button clicks worked perfectly.:)

    Thanks, that saves me from asking you to file a bug report. :p

    Often it is the anti-ad or anti-tracking extensions that are the culprits.

    Well, when it seems that there’s only one person with a problem, then it’s likely something on that person’s computer. My brain was almost fully wracked by the time I thought of it.:confused:

    BTW, I don't know that specific extension, but in some cases you can add whitelist domains to them. This allows you to keep the functions you want on some sites and still lets you block others.

    Yes, it does allow that. Exception to the site has been taken, and I also informed the company that wrote it of the site problem, as they’ve requested.
