Issue with BOB 5.2.3 in Firefox

Post by KingofExonia »

Hello All,

I have an issue where my BOB menu and elated features are not appearing when I am in a game page. However, if I am in any other page on CC (forum, my games, etc.), the BOB menu shows up where it should. Yes, hide menu = off and auto BOB = on. I have also tried a) restarting the browser, 2) uninstalling the scripts and then reinstalling, 3) uninstalling Greasemonkey and then reinstalling Greasemonkey & scripts.

Details:
OS: Win 7
Browser: FF 18.0.1
Greasemonkey: 1.7.1
BOB: 5.2.3

Any tips or suggestions to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm noticing everyone so far with the problem is freemium... Any chance this is linked to the most recent site update?

Got the same problem here; BoB works just fine though in previous tabs where games were open previously.

Was talking with Codrut in LC about this problem... those tabs were from before the update it seems... Almost certain now that its related to the update.

Thanks for the report! I didn't think that the Ads would affect any scripts. Hopefully someone will be on it ASAP!

Tried to solve it, issue is indeed the ad, which adds a script tag, which causes BOB to not find another script tag. Made a quick fix, hopefully 5.2.4 will fix it.

I've had the same problem, then after reading all this below, I noticed there was a 5.2.4 available flashing on the BOB menu (outside a game of course), so i clicked on it and it takes me straight to some long script, but no download button in site.

So i go back and the flashing is gone, i'm still on 5.2.3 and nothing's changed. How do I download the 5.2.4?
