Search links present but dead (*now fixed*)

[Chronometria]

*Edit* now fixed (see second post).

 

Strange bug blindsided me and i`d be grateful for suggestions on it.

My search in viewer 2 went strange today. I was searching for a shop, which it found, i clicked the link and......nothing happened. No info window and thus no teleport button. Usually i would get a "search" temporary sidebar page pop up that i could minimise if i wished, but instead it acted as if it was loading, even said "done" and didnt "popup" or even appear in the background.

 

Needless to say, i can now not visit any place i dont have a landmark for and the same goes for any other sort of search i do, such as people.

I have tried a flash update, as one came through today. I flipped over to Phoenix and the problem did not occur with that viewer, though it uses a different search. Cleared cache a few times....restarts, nothing seems to fix it.

Any help welcome.

Ok, seem to have solved my own problem, but may be useful if it hits anyone else.

 

I used the word "popup" and figured hey, maybe the browser changed somehow to view the links as creating popups and was somhow now banning them. This seems to be the case.

I ticked the "enable media popups" and the problem seems to be resolved. It is odd that i did *not* need this box ticked yesterday, but today viewer 2 or whatever thinks it is needed.

Right, i`m off to go shopping.
