Can anyone help with the following:
Everytime I do the main Digital Spy website to catch up on the latest showbiz and entertainment news, I always click on the links where it says showbiz, music, movies, etc. Recently I tried to click on the links but nothing happened, so can anyone help?
Before anyone asks, the problem only happens on the main Digital Spy website and not the forums or any other website.

Select it, hover over the problem area with the mouse until you find a box the same size as the area you are having problems with and click in it. Check it is hiding the correct element then click apply.
Disabled AdBlock Plus, but the problem remains.
I honestly thought that fixing the problem is easy, but judging by your reply, it's not.
So is that your troubleshooting methodolody then, to rule stuff out because you've never had a problem? without even saying what browser you're using, what version, whether you're using easylist or another list from ABP etc..:rolleyes:
The reason why I suggested disabling adblock+ is because I've seen this happen several times and it was the most likely cause.

OP just make sure, if you disabled the addon that you clear your cache and reload the browser before re-testing.
I've done what you told me, but the problem remains.
I reckon it must be the website.
What browser, OS, what addons do you have? something in your setup must be causing it.
IE and Firefox are ok.
DS is the only site it happens on.
I've got Firefox, Internet Explorer, Waterfox, Pale Moon and Google Chrome as my browsers.
I use Chrome as my main browser.
The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.
The addons or extensions as Chrome likes to call it are as follows:
Adblock Plus 1.3.1
AutoPager Chrome 0.7.1.4
avast! WebRep 7.0.1474
Awesome New Tab 2012.147.2.0
Clock 1.16
DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.2.145
Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) 2.0.10
Favourite Doodle 1.22
RealPlayer HTML5Video Downloader Extension 1.5
SiteAdvisor 3.60.123.1
Skype Click To Call 6.4.0.11328
Even if I do contact DS, they will not give me a reply.
Just another example of poor service by DS.
Sad and pathetic.
I tried the site that wouldn't work properly for me in incognito mode and it worked perfectly.
As using incognito permanently isn't very convenient, it doesn't actually solve the problem though.
I wonder if Google have dropped the ball for once in making Chrome Windows 8 compatible? Hopefully if that is true they will fix it quickly...they usually do.
I've founded out that the problem is HTML5.
Can anyone explain and help?
The whole issue of tracker blockers seems more complicated than simple ad blocking. A while ago I gave up using Ghostery because it prevented video clips for running on the Telegraph site. Now videos play fine with Ghostery active. I've also noticed a number of side effects with DNT+ that can be resolved by selectively switching off blocks on particular sites.
Please see the thread I started recently:
"Cannot Click on Links within Digital Spy Forums Emails, with Yahoo Mail, at Present" (within PC & Mac Hardware and Software)

The problem is not with emails, but the actual site.
No. I am not using an extension to block trackers.
Yes, but the emails which contain links that do not work, are sent to me from the Digital Spy Website. All my other emails from everywhere else have perfectly working links.
Typical.
