It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Hopefully just a short-term glitch, but right now, my "username" dropdown menu on the nav bar isn't showing up at all on any forum page, nor are any of the other dropdowns...dropping down like they're supposed to upon being hovered over.

EDIT: Scratch that, it's not the nav bar specifically. Going by what very little I know about these things, it seems like nothing requiring JavaScript is functioning in the Community sections of the site (excepting the Dreamlist) right now.

^^ Seems to be working fine for me.
Same here.

Everything is working as intended on my side.
At least I'm not the only one.

The search isn't working for me since years ...

BTW, this is in the latest stable Firefox release. Just before I started composing this update, I briefly tried accessing the forum in the browser's Troubleshoot Mode (i.e., no extensions, themes or custom settings), and noticed no difference. Same in up-to-date Edge (which is Chromium-based), though I didn't try signing in in that browser. Just for kicks, I also tried in Tor Browser (which is based on a Firefox ESR). Interestingly, when accessed therein from European IPs, the Community Wishlist seemed to work fine, as did the overall Community landing page (though I also didn't attempt to log in in this browser); however, any attempt to access any other forum page -- whether a page in a specific thread, or a forum topic list, like any of the General Discussion or game/series-specific forums -- just led to a page with an image that failed to load and the message:
Requested page is unavailable
Please make sure that the URL you have entered is correct
Not sure whether that part might be a Tor-specific problem, but it seems like the original problem is not browser-specific, but might be location-specific.

The aforementioned JS issues in the Community sections of the site now seem to have been fixed for me. :)
My order history still comes up a blank page :(
Reported to GOGers.

Will report when I'll recieve some new info.

Doc0075: My order history still comes up a blank page :(
Checking, my orders history works fine, even the browser. But i have only 33 pages, maybe huge lists are broken, i don't know.
Now I can load the list, change pages (38), and searching starts to working very slowly, but correctly.

[update]

The search works erratically (it works once, then it fails); sometimes the results found disappear after a while.

I've got a lovely purple dot again, and I can't find any unread post it links to.

Oooh, nice. Page 69 snipe.

Got a 503 for the forums which I've never gotten before. A stylised:

"
Looks like there’s a problem with this site

https://www.gog.com/forum/general might have a temporary problem or it could have moved.

Error code: 503 Service Unavailable

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
"

Either they've retired the GOG bear or it's a new one.

As it was intermittent I assume it was some kind of DOS attack.

More like they actually added an error page for the blank one that had been intermittently showing up lately.
Esteemed GOG staff, sincerely, I thank you for rectifying the long-standing issue affecting URLs containing : (colon) characters (following the initial usage within https:// -- as with this example)! (^_^) It seems to have been fixed within the past few days.

Previously, the two (known) techniques for treating the symptom (non-functioning/unclickable hyperlinks) had involved replacing : with either : (ASCII code, as Cavalary had mentioned in 2018), or %3A (UTF-8 encoded, as seen here).

Now that the aforementioned annoyance has been corrected, I am hoping that the remaining affected characters may also be fixed (if any of these issues are solved at a later date, to view the original state of the (broken) links, refer to attached image).

( Left Parenthesis
Unaltered (broken, at time of posting)
Exchanged with (
Exchanged with %28

) Right Parenthesis
Unaltered (broken, at time of posting)
Replaced with )
Replaced with %29

~ Tilde
Unaltered (broken, at time of posting)
Substituted with ~
Substituted with %7E

Another problem (of lesser significance) involves & (ampersand) being automatically replaced with & within the label portion of URL tags. As the characters within the label section must be interpreted literally (for obvious reasons), neither & nor %26 may be used as effective alternatives.

& Ampersand (label with unintended character sequence, at time of posting)

No problem ;) Now I need half a year break from touching this cursed url-parsing regex :P
(I'll try to handle the other issues too someday)
