Q: Links don't work on certain web pages

On certain web pages (MacWorld, Wall Street Journal), clicking the links does nothing. I can't even log in. Below is a screen shot of my Safari security preferences in case that helps. Any ideas on how to make these sites work?

Thank you

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

A:

Please disable all Safari extensions and test. If the problem is resolved, re-enable the extensions one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Hi ..

Might be a cookies issue.

Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab the click: Remove All Website Data

Then quit and relaunch Safari and try Macworld or the WSJ.

Hi - I gave this a try and am still having the same problem. A little more specifically,
Macworld links don't do anything
WSJ links do, but when I try to sign in, I can fill in the userid and password, but clicking the sign-in button does nothing

If Safari can’t open a website,load a page, webpage items are missing or has other issues

This did it. I had Ka-Block ad blocker extension. Disabling this solved the problem. Thank you
