I noticed Monday that on both my operating systems and both my browsers I didn't have to conduct an initial left-click on my mouse to scroll the screens. Happy, happy, happy !

Your right,, I like it.

And all this time I thought it was just me! 

The Moon phase & time window in the upper right goes away when I go to reader forums .

It seems that that script was the culprit to a lot of the problems members were having with the forums. Jeremy had the script removed from the forums only, but it is still accessible through the main site.

Cool Kevin , I kinda figured that's what the deal was . 

 It still hasn't resolved all the issues however. It took me three times clicking my bookmarked link before the forum recognized me and logged me in automatically.

I don't know what all of the frustrations are about. My stuff works perfect. Windows Vista, 1.6ghz processor 1g mem and the latest Java update. This is also the laptop I use to control my telescopes and imaging. 

I don't think I ever had to do a click to scroll through the posts. But, I would be stuck till everything finished loading, for many minutes, or else kill the browser connection and restart. It's all much faster now without that JAVA having to run. Now if I enter the forum and see nothing interesting, I can immediately go somewhere else. 

Check your browsers and enable java scripting. Also enable anything that has to do with java.
