I have a workaround, but I'm not quite sure why it works or is necessary. When you're on the 2025 Ranking page, the URL is "https://nonathlon.com/ranking.php". When you hover your cursor over the Show Times button, the shown URL is "https://nonathlon.com/rankingswitch.php". If you just add the "switch" text to the URL you'll be able to switch back and forth between showing/hiding times.

I have to do something similar when looking at my scoring page. The Edit Scores button doesn't do anything but I can change the URL from "https://nonathlon.com/scores.php" to "https://nonathlon.com/scoresswitch.php" and be able to edit my times. Weird...

Many thanks Dan, that is the only thing that works for me. I am amazed others don't use this, perhaps I am just more of a stalker than most users, but IO am always looking for another "target" whether it is another Athletes time or my time in an earlier year.

Now that helped to find the culprit :). Chrome or Chromium try to prefetch the page https://www.nonathlon.com/rankingswitch.php when clicking on "Show Times". nonathlon does not seem to like it and sends a 503:

Disabling prefetch does help. You can try it out by visiting this URL here : chrome://settings/?search=preload . There, completely disable "Preload Pages", and the "Show Times" should work (it did for me).

Glad to hear that it helped you fix the problem. Note that the change does affect all sites viewed in chrome: no links on a site will be preloaded into the cache anymore. Personally, I'm against prefetching contents of links. If I do want to follow a link, I'm happy to click on it and then wait for it to load.
