Extra Clicks Required To Go Forward/Back On This Site?


Nathan already heard about this, but I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing any problems clicking on buttons on these sites just recently.

It is only happening on my one computer that has IE-7 set up and not the other with Mozilla Fire Fox, but I have things very organized in my IE-7 Folders, so I don't want to abandon that browser completely.

Sometimes, it takes anywheres from 2-10 real fast clicks to get to the next page I am trying to reach.

EXPORT your bookmarks in IE into FF

Its the Google ad click pages (at least thats what I see when I use the Back button list) - they have locked up IE7 on my computer a few times & yes it is only on this site.

I have had a few "Lock-Ups" with Chrome in the past few days.

I uninstalled it COMPLETELY (not just through Add/Delete Programs in Control Panel) and reinstalled and have had NO problems since!!!!

Glad I saw this. I was about ready to unhook everything and take this thing in for a tune up. Not even 6 months old.

Absolutely! Still has a buncha quirks.

Paste problems. Try to paste a YouTube link BETWEEN the "boxes" and it ALWAYS clips the "]" off of the first one. PITA!

Can not properly Quote two posters properly when posting a reply.

HTML shows up as HTML until you "save" the post then it looks as it should.

Can not EXPORT Bookmarks.

Sometimes you can not copy from one window and paste to another window.

Lots of little BS! But it is SO MUCH faster the FF3 that I deal with the eccentricities and quirks!

Do a disc clean up (in "Accessories", "System Tools"), a defrag and disc scan. This will help your computer become a bit more efficient.

Also go to Internet Options in the Control Panel. Select "Advanced", scroll to "Security", select "Empty Temporary Internet Files When Browser Is Closed".

That is about all they do when you pay for it!

Without doing anything on my end, the Extra Clicking has ceased.

Was anything recently done to the site to upgrade anything?

All Clear.
