Random buttons not working

For some reason, the 'go to a random trope' and 'go to random media' buttons aren't working for me.

Works fine for me. What browser are you using?

Firefox here, and it's happening to me as well.

Chrome Version 43.0.2357.132, Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 here, and the random buttons work normally on the Home Page, but not on any other pages. I haven't tried the other browsers.

They don't work for me too, on both the latest version of Chrome and Firefox in Windows 7.

Not working for me while using Firefox v39.0, but tried IE v11.0.9600.17843 and it's working fine there.

It's a javascript issue. Try and do a hard refresh on your browser to get the latest javascript file version for the site. I think we forgot to update the revision number when we made a few changes last week, which would cause the issue.

Could you explain how to do that, please?

I don't know how to do any of that (because I'm dumb like that)

Thanks!

Clearing cache did not help.

Still not working a day later. Using Firefox 39.0, all plugins updated. Cache-clearing, restarts, and full computer reboots do bupkis.

Try refreshing Firefox.

1) Make a list of your addons, as they'll need to be reinstalled. 2) Click the 3-bar button at the top right. 3) Click the question mark button at the bottom of the pop-out. 4) Click "Troubleshooting Information". 5) Click "Refresh Firefox". 6) Reinstall your addons. 7) See if that fixes the problem.

Okay, I think we finally fixed the issue. Let me know if you are still having problems.

Nope, still not working for me.

How about now?

Following a full refresh on Firefox, both random buttons are once again working.

Still not for me, Chrome user :C

Using Chromium. If I hover my mouse over the button my status bar shows a random destination, but actually pressing the button does nothing.

(EDIT) Works fine in Firefox, but I normally surf TVT in Chromium.

(Another edit): I run an Ubuntu/Linux based OS called Zorin.

Try doing a hard refresh in your Chrome browser.

Cleared caché and made a hard refresh, still nothing

Using the reset settings button seems to have solved the problem for now, but I'll keep you informed if that happens on the other devices I use.

It seems something about uBlock and Ad Block Plus is keeping the random buttons from working for me. It only seems to affect the buttons at the top of the page.

Disabling both Ad Block Plus (2.6.9.1) and Avast Online Security (10.2.0.187) and restarting didn't bring back the buttons.

Refresh didn't work either.

What device and OS are you using? We can't figure out why the buttons do not work for you.

Allowing Google Analytics scripts through uBlock fixed it for me.

This could be the reason the buttons are not working for some people, myself included.
