I was going to email you regarding some unusual activity I've noticed only this past week.

I am now frequently getting logged off . . . . when in the past, I've been logged on almost continuously for days at a time. Somuchso that I had forgotten my password.

I'm also having difficulty navigating around within the site:

Drop-Down Menus for places like Forum List, Active Topics, My Stuff, and Who's OnLine will present themselves, and I'll make a selection, but we never go anywhere. I'll have to exit IE8 and re-enter to get things to loosen up.

Also just clicking on a Thread Topic, which will usually open up the most recent page of that thread, now often goes no where.

I thought that maybe some of my settings, or perhaps having to run in "compatibility mode" might be an issue, so I was waiting until I saw more of a discernible pattern emerge before saying anything.

Just some observations . . . . which might bear a similarity to those of others.

The post you quoted is over a year old. Since then we found that IE's problem is an issue with having to add the forum to its "trusted sites" list in Windows 7.

I don't know of any issues with Firefox other than it doesn't seem to handle flash very well. I often end up with lots of tabs open and if one or two are running flash ads in the background (news sites for example) I run into problems with hanging and crashing.

If anyone else is having an issue with Firefox please enlighten us so we can try and track it down.

A possible suspect would be that the page is waiting for your browser to load an item from another site (a remote avatar for example) and will not do anything else until that item loads.

Anybody else have suggestions?

all my 'favorites' are also on I.E.
