Cannot block certain users on the forum

It would seem for some users, clicking their name does not drop down the list which allows you to block their posts. I will use a random user as an example, as I do not wish to call out the person I want to block.

El Grimm from example cannot be blocked on my end.

Anyone else experiencing such issues? It's happening for about 1 in 6-8 users for me.

Blocking the users in game does not seem to reflect on the forum.


UPDATE:

Hurray, found a way to do this manually.

If anyone else is having the same issue, you can manually block by copying the "block" URL of the posters directly before and directly after the person who you are trying to block.

You will get 2 links, like this for example:
__doPostBack('forum$ctl00$MessageList$ctl03$DisplayPostAlt$lbtnBlock','')
__doPostBack('forum$ctl00$MessageList$ctl05$DisplayPostAlt$lbtnBlock','')

In this example, we can see the only difference is "ctl03" and "ctl05". Therefore to block the poster in question, you would use "ctl04" in that spot. You will need to also add "javascript:" to the front. This will leave you with:
javascript:__doPostBack('forum$ctl00$MessageList$ctl04$DisplayPostAlt$lbtnBlock','')

Hey guys.
