It stopped working for me. When I look at my extensions the text is grey and unclickable. Is anyone else having this problem?

The MAIN ISSUE n why it OCCURS Appears to be a Page scripting problem with the recent add of @handles this extension works , BUT YOU MUST ***REFRESH THE PAGE*** every time you comment for YOUR USERNAME TO SHOW NORMALLY even after commenting for this extension to work ... wich is bad .. but it still works.. but this extension NEEDS improvement .. it needs to AUTOMATICALY . make USERNAME SHOW After every comment commented in the comment section ... not after the page is refrshed after every comment the user name shows correctly... GOOD EXTENSION but needs improvement
