This is a conflict between older and newer ways to display menus vs older and newer clients. They changed the way menus displayed in 4.x but removed the backward compatibility that POL uses early in the 5.x series. Unfortunately the only fix for this is within POL 096 or you'll have to use an older client. And even if you decide to use the fix in 096, you have to warn your players before doing it because it will crash clients older than 4.x. The clients in between (all 4.x and very early 5.x) support both ways so they'll work regardless. If you don't want to upgrade to POL096 and force all of your players to use newer clients, you have to use older clients.

So to break it down...

older than 5.0.1 (I believe thats about the time they did the change) will work on your current shard but anything newer will do exactly what you're seeing.

4.0.0 to 6.0.1.6 will work with the POL096 fix but will cause anything older than 4.0.0 to crash when they talk to a vendor.
