    You need to pist a link to the page. without seeing what is going on, there is nothing but guesses possible; which are just going to run you around in circles hoping to get lucky.

    Wow what a mess. The validator tries but blows up after the first 21 errors. There is zero structural integrity, obsolete tags. Both the scripting and CSS are total chaos. It looks like all the loose bits of code from the web were just dumped on the page. It needs major cleanup before anyone even attempt to figure out what is wrong, because at this point there is not much that is right.


    BTW, nofollow is a directive to SE spiders; it has nothing to do with whether the link is clickable. So it is the code disaster in the page that is causing or hiding whatever is causing the links to be treated as plain text. and we are probably not going to make much progress until we have something that looks like a web page code instead of a bowl of stale spaghetti.

    start by using the validators for HTML: http://validator.w3.org/
    and for the CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

    Those will help you identify problems and as you clean up the link problem may get cleared up as well.

    to get a better handle on what you need to be able to do this site might help:

    Before you hire a coder; give it a little time. The skills are not difficult to learn.
