Clickable Maps still aren't working for me on Chrome.

Edit: I have to disable all scripts apart from BOB otherwise the drop downs just don't work. Also, submitting from a quick edit doesn't work.

Edit: Using Tampermonkey, if Clickable Maps are enabled before everything else then it works.

Edit: Clickies don't work with Chatglove, Game Link or Map Rank enabled.

Thank you. Out of curiosity what is API and how did it get tampered with without you guys knowing in the first place? Outside attack or something else?

An API, or Application Programming Interface, to my knowledge, is something that allows script-writers to easily work with information released by the site (in this case, the game list part was down).

The problem was that the API would spike, using a ton of CPU! IIRC from my conversation with blake on the issue, it was a database structuring error on our side. No hackers, nor any malicious intent! Blake might be around to fill in the holes of my post.

It seems to be working for me. Have you reinstalled them? Maybe that'll do it.

I have indeed tried that, I also uninstalled all the other addons that i had and they still didnt work along with installing the addon tracker.

it seems odd to me that they work in one but not the other...that said im not really a tech guy

The most successful route for Chrome seems to be using Tampermonkey. Uninstall your scripts, install Tampermonkey, reinstall your scripts.

This works to a degree. I can run BOB and Clickable Maps but if I use Chatglove then Clickies doesn't work.

As RDS says, it was the cause of some of the connection issues a lot of people experienced before this viewtopic.php?f=6&t=143021&view=unread#p4179893 so the API was plugged to try fix the problem?

Okay, let's try varying an approach which has worked for another script power user (who, unfortunately for us, doesn't use Chatglove): uninstall everything, including Tampermonkey; install all the scripts and add-ons you like EXCEPT BOB and Clickable Maps; install Tampermonkey; install Clickable Maps through Tampermonkey; install BOB through Tampermonkey.

I've done all that already, but Clickable Maps just don't work with Chatglove any more. It's not a big deal. I only use BOB and Clickable Maps anyway now, because Map Rank never works in Chrome for me with Tampermonkey or not.

I can confirm that the API is currently online and is functioning as intended.
