EA Forums links are not navigating

I am on the EA Forums for The Sims 4 Bug Reports and was trying to submit a new bug related to the Lost Legacies event. 

None of the navigation links on this forum seem to be working. They change the URL, but do not navigate to the new URL. I have to Reload the page or directly navigate to the changed URL from the browser Nav Bar. I am on PC and using Chrome browser.

I checked on another EA Forum and the navigation there works as expected, but The Sims 4 Bug Reports forum is not navigating.

  • I am having the same navigation issues on the TS4 Bug Reports forum using the Edge browser, so it isn't relegated to just the Chrome browser.

    This is causing similar behavior on the Apex Legends bug forum.

  • I got the game update today and everything is fine, except something that was supposed to be fixed is not fixed. So I am trying to get to the bug forum to report it. When I initially arrive there I can click and read a post, Then I go back to the main bug forum and click the big blue button in the upper right to report a bug, and nothing happens. Then nothing clickable will function. I can't click to read any posts, change forums, or anything. 

    I test posted in another forum after closing the tab and reopening the forum in a new tab. The first post I made didn't seem to go through when I went back two hours later to post an update. So I reposted and it finally took, and then suddenly the post from two hours ago was showing so I deleted the second post. Then I went to a screenshot forum I participate in and posted there and that went smoothly. So I went back to the bug forum to again try to report a bug, and same thing happens again with the page seeming to lock up and become non-functional. 

    I mainly use chrome browser but I switched to edge earlier for testing and the same problem occurring there as well so I don't think it is a browser issue.

    Initially I was worried that maybe I was banned or suspended from the forums for a period of time because I had posted an update on a bug report yesterday or day before and I received an email to my inbox that said I had violated forum policy or something very similar. No idea what that was about and still have no idea what it is about because nobody has answered the reply mail I sent for that. However, I did not receive an email from EA about being banned or anything, which I understand by researching that I would if that were the case. Just figured I should mention this because I didn't have any problems posting in the bug forum until this occurred.

    So I am just stumped and hope someone can help because I sure as heck cannot figure out what is going on and have no idea and couldn't find a better place to post this than here. 

    LIsting this with tag of LAG because nothing else feels close to appropriate,

    Just posting an update on my problem. I figured out that if I click a link while on the bug forum main page, and then click to refresh the page, it will load whatever I clicked on. Whether it is to read a post or report a bug. This is extremely strange as this problem only occurs on the bug forum main page. Every other sims 4 forum works just fine and I have not noticed any problems when visiting other websites.

    I am finding the same issue. I have a major bug in my game and wanted to report it. When I select the blue icon to report a bug nothing happens and if I try to select anything else on the forum after that... like selecting another post within that bug forum or going back to the main page for the Sims 4 forums nothing happens and everything acts like a freezing glitch. 

    LOLOL... what irony. We want to report a bug that is breaking our games and now we can't post in the bug forums because that is broken too. It's got to be an EA thing. LOLOL

  • I see my post was merged with this thread but the title does not accurately reflect the issue. The problem only presents from the Bug Forum main page. Every other forum works just fine. Looks like everyone else in this thread says the same thing so will someone please update the title so it is not misleading like it is right now. 

  • I have been using the forums recently and when I do things like click on the EA logo to go to the home page, attempt to create a bug report (tested only on the Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes bug reports forum) or even change the sort method to most recent, the forums don’t load, but if I refresh the page it does. 

    I have also had issues with being logged out as I navigated from the Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes forums to these forums. With this it would also be realllly nice if we didn’t need to login every time we open the website.

    Another thing I noticed is that I never received emails for a couple messages.

    All of this is from a IPhone 11 using Safari, this account only.

  • Looks like the Sims bug forum is working again.
