Is it just me, or have a bunch of Bulbapedia functions been disabled?; Also, alternative?

I believe I recall trying different browsers, so I'm not sure it's me. The site used to let people click to go to related pages or expand to new information. I'll post examples:

Look at the data for Cerulean City on the right. The words about adjacent regions and the gym were once links; now they're not.

There is a button on those tables called [show]; it used to expand them but now it doesn't.

In a Pokemon's "Learnset" column, it has Roman numerals for each generation of games it's been in. Those numerals used to be clickable to bring up a new move list, but they aren't now.

There are probably more examples. I come with two questions: 1) Do you know any way around this? 2) Is there an alternative site that works?

I've had this issue before. It seems to be related the way the page scaling works. It breaks the links on the right side of the page for some reason. Try it at full screen and see if it works. This happens on every page I've been on.

Full screen didn't fix it on Firefox; what browser are you using?

If you use adblock, you can prevent this by adding this to your filters:
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net##DIV[id="rightcolbox"]

If you don't want to manually add it, go to any page where this happens, right click something that's blocked like this, and go to adblock > block this ad. Move the slider until "blocked element" says <div id="rightcolbox"> and click "Looks Good".

As far as I can tell, this doesn't remove any actual content (including ads that are already blocked by adblock), but it removes the invisible box preventing you from clicking links.

Note: this is using Chrome. I assume it's similar in firefox, but haven't tried.

Using Chrome at all seems to have solved the problem, although the page behaves a bit strange. The load icon flickers a lot, and the mouse has to hover over the links for a few seconds before it recognizes they're links. Still, that more-or-less covers it, so thanks a bunch!
