The first 3 links (Your photos, Explore and Community) don't work, there is only simple text, not clickable.
The search button is gone.
The user drop-down button (with Settings link and Sign out) doesn't work.

Please try refreshing your computer (clear cache, empty cookies, sing out and sign in again) because I don't happen to experience the problems you describe.

Please provide operating system (Windows n, Mac) and browser. 
I have no problems here on W8 Chrome 27.0.1453.116 m
clear cache, remove cookies

Tested on Windows XP (at work), both Chrome (Version 27.0.1453.116 m) and Mozilla (Version 21), already cleared the cache, cookies.

I'll test on Windows 7 back at home...

Tested also on Windows 7, Chrome version 27.0.1453.116 m. The same thing happens!

You can get the page layout and functionality corrupted this way when scripting in your browser (javascript) is disabled.
Verified. ;-)

Try to turn on javascript if you can (javascript can be turned off permanently by your company security policy control).

This is how you can change javascript setting in IE:

In Chrome - go to settings:
- click the link at bottom: "Show advanced settings" (or something like that - I don't have English version of Chrome)
- in section "Privacy control" click the button "Content setting"
- In section "Javascript", turn on "Javascript for all websites (recommended)"

Update:
Check also "Exceptions" (javascript can be disabled/enabled only for some websites).
In fact, without javascript enabled, you wouldn't be able to reach this forum.

P.S. I don't understand why such a simple and static thing as web page menu is created dynamically using JavaScript. It's only source of troubles. For the same reason, I cannot reach most functionality of Panoramio on my (dumb) phone. Same effect of cascading menu can be achieved with CSS and with maintaining accessibility. It seems to me, Google moves to different accessibility standards.  >]:-(

The menu works ok in other screens, just not in the user settings. (JavaScript is on)

Thank you Tomas for your answer.
As Matthew said, I also have JavaScript on and on the other pages everything is OK. Maybe it is a problem related to the other one (Google+ export), if I can check anything to help the support team, let me know...

Hi Alexandru,

finally I've got it... problem is related only to settings page. I can see that issue also on my computer. So this is a bug in Panoramio Settings page code (some important parts of JavaScript seems to be corrupted or stripped off).

I am going to report this bug to admins. Thanks for reporting!
