Flyertalk display problem on Chrome (Mac)
The top header is overshadowing the menus and the bell with the "1" indicating a message can not be clicked. This occurs on all pages (not just the compose one).
It's been this way for a long time for me, on several computers. It works on my phone.
See the screenshot

Hi Nick, a few questions: Do you have Infinite Scroll on (what happens if you turn it off)? Are you scrolled all the way to the top of the page in this screenshot? Have you cleared your Chrome cache on FlyerTalk? Does it happen on other desktop browsers, such as Safari? Sorry for all the questions, just want to get a baseline for what works/doesn't for fixing.

Yes scrolled all the way up.
What is Infinite Scroll?
Doesn't happen on safari.
I tried in incognito mode in chrome, but I can't log in then, the login button does nothing.

I'm almost certain that this is because you have Infinite Scroll on (which I disabled for you). Since it kicks in again when you're logged out, that is apparently happening again for you. Are you running any plug-ins/add-ons to Chrome that might block page elements or scripts? Are you accessing the site from outside of the US (I noticed a cookie/privacy policy notification on your Incognito screenshot)?

Hi, can you tell me where I can disable infinite scroll?
As it happens in incognito mode it's not caused by plugs (as those are disabled in incognito mode).
yes I'm outside the US.
Am I supposed to be able to click the bell image to see notifications for new posts? It does nothing. If I click "Your Notifications" then i get to https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/usercp.php where I can't see any notifications.
Thanks!

Hi, I made a discovery. I found that javascript was disabled for flyertalk in Chrome. This seems to follow my account so even this is a new computer/installation flyertalk was still listed under disabled. I don't know how that first happened, must have been a long time ago. Anyway, that seems to have caused it and it's back to working normally now.
Thanks for your help with getting me to think and check what chrome settings could cause this!
