CR4 Topic Page Scrolling Problem

01/04/2008 10:34 AM

Guest here. I was going to register, but then this problem came up.

Since CR4 revised its website format my browser has been behaving badly when viewing posts.

I now find that one or more tabs fails to scroll correctly. It doesn't seem to matter how many tabs I have open, one or seven. One tab, and it seems only one, will always slow scrolling down to a crawl. The only way to scroll when I get to this tab is to place the mouse over the scroll button and hit the mouse button a gazillion times and wait for movement. This never happened before the site re-design. This tab may be the first one I look at, or any random tab in the lineup. Once I close the offending tab, the rest behave normally.

I am using Firefox. I typically browse the many topics in the daily email and open all I wish to read at once. Since FF uses a tab system, this is a convenient way to browse the threads and discussions.

Now, I am running an old system (not my choice) Win 98 on an X86 platform with 384 Kb Ram. I should mention that I usually have no less than four applications running at any time, and yes, that does tax this old system a bit. But since this problem did not occur before the CR4 revision, what might be happening?

Thanks

Which CR4 revision are you talking about? (How long ago did the system work properly for you?) We've been running this basic platform for over a year, and nothing big has changed recently.

If this is a recent issue then I half-suspect that the problem may be due to a banner ad (some of the flash ones are more intensive than others)... these rotate so I could not know which one you are looking at at any give time (or on any given page). Maybe disabling flash (temporarily, even) would help to isolate the problem.

If you can, try using Internet Explorer... IE7 uses tabs too (but that won't help you on Win98).

Hope this helps.

Thanks
