A Right Royal Screw Up! MyLot has Halloween Gremlins!

Since yesterday, I find that I have been completely unable to respond to certain discussions or to send an abuse report.
I noticed that one person and then many were posting duplicate discussions and I thought the world had gone mad! I tried to report one of them (because nobody wants duplicate discussions clogging up the system) and all I got was a blank page ... no report form, no nothing!
Then I tried responding to one of these new discussions. Impossible! Clicking on the Respond button just reloads the page!
Was it me? My computer? My account? ... No! I tested on earlier discussions started before yesterday and everything was working just fine!
MyLot seem to have installed a new system which gives certain words a blue underline and puts advertising links directly in the page. (They tried this before, using another method but this one is different.) Whatever it does, it seems to have screwed up the page and disabled certain things. I have sent messages to MyLot telling them of the problems but, since it's the weekend, I don't suppose anything will be done about it till Monday!
If this discussion has any words in blue and underlined, I doubt if I shall get any responses. If you can respond, please would you say what browser you are using and what version of Windows, Linux or MacOS.
No responses
