Ever since the main D&D site changed its layout I've had a ton of problems accessing it in Google Chrome - the formatting on the front page is off, the sign in/sign out button in the upper right does nothing when clicked, and any attempt to log into the Silverlight tools results in failure, claiming that my session has expired. I've managed to find workarounds for the login issue via accessing the compendium through the menu at the top, looking up an entry and logging in that way, but the Silverlight tools refuse to work. Has anyone else running Google Chrome run up against this issue?

I run google chrome, and as far as I can tell I have absolutely zero of the problems that you have mentioned. Try clearing your browser cache and the like, sometimes its attmpts at loading what it has in the cache interferes with what is present whenever a website has significant update.

I can run it in Chrome, but I cannot enter anything in text fields.  I can backspace, but not actually enter text.

I'm also on a Mac, so maybe that's something.

Seems to be resolved, thanks for the replies =) Was an issue with my script blocker (which I should've looked at WAY before trying any of the other stuff I tried x_x) My derp, sorry!

+1,  what is this script blocker fix?

I have to clear cookies to force it to let me log in again every time.

Chrome version:  17.0.963.56 m

I am using Chrome as well and cant Log in. i can get to the compendium and log in when that prompts me.
The logon button on the front page does nothing and if i log in through the compendium and look back at the main page it says i am logged in but when i go to character builder it trys to load then says i am not logged in.

Tried deleting extensions
Tried deleting all cookies and temp files

any suggestions ?

OK  it seems to work if i log into the fourms first then open a tab and open up the CB

You need to check which version of Silverlight you are using.  According to WotC tech support, the CB is not compatible with 5.0.  However, Microsoft automatically updates Silverlight from version 4.0 if you  download it - so I'm not sure what can be done.

You can always uninstall silverlight 5 and install silverlight 4.

I have this exact same problem. Any way around this?
