Me too. I am running W10 and tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge. If I don't log in I can navigate but can't post. If I login I can't navigate.

Same issue here earlier this evening.
Ipad, iPhone, win7 & chrome all the same.
Can visit home page but clicking did nothing.
Now at 10pm pst I can click on forums. But clicking on “Forum Tools” bring up a different screen. Mark Forum Read is still there but appearance is different.
I suspect somebody is working really hard burning midnight oil on correcting this.
Good luck guys, thanks.

If any of the devs are reading, It's being caused by the HTML element below:
Its computed CSS has it rendering as 100% screen width, no defined height, and z-index of 999999 which means it's "in front" of all other elements (but it appears to have no content) and fills the entire browser window so it just prevents any clicking etc. I assume it's supposed to be some sort of banner relating to cookie consent and would normally have content in it and a defined size.
If you use browser dev tools to either delete the element, resize it, or change the z-index it's possible to interact with the forum normally (which is how I posted this)
<div id="consent_blackbar" ....

It's not a practical workaround though, because every time I go to a new page, I have to go back into the dev tools and do it all over again.
Not sure I can say I even learned anything from it, because I don't know how any of this works. But kinda fun to poke around under the hood.
Thanks

Same problems here. I'm usually on BikeforumsNG vs mobile. It worked just fine at dawn yesterday (6:00 EDST). I was away all day and checked in at 9:00p - site unresponsive when logged in via the same iPad Safari. Same lack of response on desktop Safari. I've cleared history and caches several times. Restarted iPad twice. No change.
I'm on iPad, BFmobile now and able to enter this response.

Cool, I never tried anything like that before. But I poked around and deleted that element and it works — I'm posting from Chrome on Windows.

I've sent a message to the site admins letting them know but I'm sure they're probably aware....

Other than that, I can't answer how far they are in the fix.

Same problem here too. I can click on links on my phone but not on laptops - after restarting and with both Windows and Chrome. Frustrating to say the least

whew, thought I was going crazy or there was something wrong with my account. Glad to see I’m not the only one and it’s being addressed!
Can only browse via mobile here as well.

Hi everyone,
My apologies for the issues. It's happening for me, as well. I have alerted our tech team last night and it should be fixed this morning.

Same here. Works on mobile (Safari) but not on PC (Firefox).
Thank you to those working on it!

Seems to only be an issue when logged in as a user because I can navigate the site just fine if I’m browsing as a non-registered guest.
