Scrolling broken

Post by Rommeltje »

I can't seem to scroll through the forum anymore with the scroll wheel on my mouse. It still works on other sites, so I'm wondering if it's maybe a problem with the forum.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Working perfectly fine for me in Chrome w/ a wireless Trust mouse.

Chrome however is notorious for me to have hiccups and be doing mysterious stuff slowing everything down.
Windows 7 runs on my machine.

It's working again for me too at the moment. :hmm:

Either way, thanks for the reports! At least I can now cross the forum off my list of possible causes.

That just started happening to me recently when I'm on forums. I Just just go to another site and come back, and then it works.

Yeah, I've had it happen on other sites in Chrome now too.

Thanks for the tip! That works for me too. I sometimes just closed the browser and opened it up again, but this is a bit less cumbersome.

If I find a permanent solution, I'll post it here.

*Edit: O, hey, I just found an even faster way to get it going again: when you click on a link to a new page, just make it open in another tab. Scrolling will work again in that new tab, so you keep browsing there, and close the old one. Then when it stops again, just open a new tab again.

Chrome also uses a looooot of RAM, it looks cool, but is rather fragile and buggy at the end of the day.
When overused, it has difficulty setting up safe https connections...
