What's up with SpaceDock???

[jbarry39]

This 'Advanced Search' overlay is blocking everything and you can't seem

to get rid of it???

Added workaround

[Jetsun]

Yes. I've got exact the same problem.
I asked the support there, but no answer yet.

[jbarry39]

OK great...as long as it's not just me

[Jetsun]

Yes, that's unfortunate.
And it is not only KSP 1 but every other theme (KSP 2, BALSA etc.) where this ugly popup appears.
Hopefully the support answers quickly...

Your browser still has some of the old files cached. You can press ctrl-shift-R or shift-F5 or ctrl-F5 (depending on browser) to fix it.

Plans are under way to improve this for future SpaceDock upgrades.

I'm managing to use the site by entering dev mode on the browser, then selecting the Advanced Search <DIV> tag on the Inspector and deleting the node.

It's annoying as you have to do it every time the page reloads, but it's doable.

On Safari, I can right click the annoying component,  select "Inspect" and I will be right there on the node to be deleted.

The SD dudes are advising to clear the browser cache while reloading the site.

About Safari

Funny.
If I use Google Chrome, the problem appears.
If I use MS Edge, it does not.

I will try Firefox and Yandex too. Let's see...

Seemes a problem with the browser. However that may be.

That's because you used one browser to load those pages in the preceeding 30 days and not the other.

@James Kerman, could you somehow mark that post as the answer to this? It seems people are still able to browse past it without reading.

I'm sorry but this subforum does not have that ability, but I will say it's really easy to clear cache in chrome, just Hold down Ctrl and press F5.

What about pasting a quoted form of it into the OP, so it's easier to spot?

We only edit other members posts when it is absolutely necessary but I will add the information into my post under the OP.

Which browser you use is not a factor in this problem.
