They now have several links that bypass the surf bar!! When I tried the support system, it wouldn't let me send a message! Anyone else having problems there??

That doesn't sound too good.
But I guess since the links are geo-targeted not all of us will come across the same set. I for one have not had any problems recently, though I did come across a few in the past.
What strikes me as odd is the fact that you're not able to report via support. Maybe a temporary issue? Dunno. Perhaps you can try reporting later and see...hmmm good luck

They're not bad links. Somehow the script changed, I think. A few of us found changing AdBlock or NoScript settings brought the timer bar back. With no problem elsewhere.

I had written about it to support, and they checked the links and found no breakers. And when I reset my allowances, it worked.

Thanks for the help shadow & Susy! I tried Wordlinx on my other PC and the links worked right. I'll have to adjust the settings like you suggested
