- Links in texts don't do anything when clicked.
- Can't copy anything out of the pager like a persons name, text, or links.
- Can't get to a persons profile by clicking on their name or anything else.
- Had to restart the pager in order to launch Nestalgia. Before restarting, all I got was the hour glass for 4 hours and no matter what I tried, the hour glass wouldn't go away.

Outside of the pager, it would be nice if I can get to a players profile a little easier by performing a search for a part of their name or something. At present, I search the forums for their name and if they have a post, I click on their name.
I'm sure we can make a quick type-in field to save some steps.

Regarding the issues:
Links in texts don't do anything when clicked.
I will test, but last I check this was working. I wonder if there is an issue with certain browsers. What IE are you running?

We will fix this.

I was not able to reproduce this. This worked fine for me (eg, clicking on an author link on a hub page in the pager moved me to their page.

We will need a test case for this, so if you can consistently reproduce it, that would really help.

They managed to sneak IE10 onto my machine just recently.

Just tried again and found that I can click on the persons image and be navigated to their page but clicking on their name doesn't work. For some reason, I didn't think to click on that.

I'll try reproing over the next couple of days.
This last issue where the pager doesn't start downloading and installing the game is still happening to me. I click the Download button and the pager pops up behind Chrome but it doesn't automatically install the game so no Play tab appears.

Every day I seem to repro it once so it could be some sort of first time/cache issue.

This might be the repro steps:
- On a new day
- Go to http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=1283987&page=5
- Click on "Yut Put's" name on post #94
- Click on "Yut Put's" name at the top of the dialog
- Click on Creations tab
- Click on Ant (A game you've never downloaded before)
- Click Download.

Result:
- Notice the pager navigates to the hub entry but no Play tab and the Install button is still present.

Just confirming that the same thing happened to me when following these steps. Im still on 1196 using Chrome 27.0.1453.116 m (quite a version number...)

Uh, there is no working download for Yut Put's Ant.

I checked with the [Zip] link.
"Error: The download was not found."

That's why it doesn't install - there is nothing to download.
Heh. I got as far as clicking the 'Install' link in the pager and saw that it said 'Installing', and switched back to the browser. Never checked to see if it actually installed.
Not sure if this has been mentioned already but when you get spammed messages, it nearly causes the pager to shut down.
