   I see this on my account page
   
   
   
   And apart from the fact that it goes to a page which doesn't explain what this competition is none of the links in Your Hubs, Your Account, Interaction and Favorites are now working for me.
   
   Is this just me, or is it happening to anyone else?

   It works for me.  It goes to a page so you can vote for the current HubNuggets.
   
   I agree, though.  There's no real explanation, I just recognized the HubNuggets because I already voted.

      That link works for me but I'm not sure if voting for a hubnugget is the same as entering a competition. There's some desperately needed hand holding when a person arrives at that page.
      
      But the other concern is my unclickable links.

         Agreed.  The entering a contest phrasing is misleading and wrong...  Sorry you guys are having problems with the links...  Does it happen if you switch browsers?

      The link to the contest is working, it's all the other things in our 'account' (like url, affiliate setting,  comments you made etc. that are not). Hopefully should be back to normal soon.

   they should put an anchored post at the top like usual so ppl know whats going on rather than make everyone figure on their own who have never voted on hubnuggets b4 - makes it look like you'll be entered in a contest to win a mobile cart or an excersise bike if ya vote , which apparently is not the case !

       I suggest installing ad-block plus add-on and filter the particular hub image. That is better option and yes, it also improves loading time of hubs as it blocks ads.

    I just took a round about route and got my url trackers and affiliate settings buttons to work. I went to the home page hubpages.com to see if I had any comments and I did (a little 1 next to comments and my pic). I was able to click that and went straight to my comments in my account and url trackers worked as did fan mail, I assume that I was by-passing this content banner and that must be what is messing up the button codes

    My links work.  Just no "contest" to be found.
    
    I did see the "vote" thing, but it's advertised as a contest to enter, not a "vote for..."
    
    And, as with most things "internet," my attention quickly moves to something else...
