In this game:

it wont let me capture 7g with my pawn. I can select the pawn and move it to 7g, but when the promotion box pops up, clicking on either option does nothing.

Is there a rule that I don't know about that is preventing this or is this a bug?

Capturing with your pawn is a valid move.

What happens exactly once you click on the promotion option? LG have had a couple of connection problems lately so you might have tried to send a move when the server was down for a short while. Try refreshing the page once you select the promotion option.

If you still cannot make that move, you have found a bug. Congratulations!

Thanks for the response.

When I mouse-over the promotion box, my cursor turns into a hand as if it were a link, but it doesn't list the target URL at the bottom of my browser (Chrome) and when I click (either promotion option) nothing happens.

I have skipped this game for a few days just in case it was a problem with the LG server and even made alternative moves; I should have been able to capture since move 50 but it has not let me.

Ah, that was it! Thanks!

I had disabled javascript for LG when that thread with the "warning" dialog box resurfaced in the forum.
