scrolling

I recently started having that same scrolling problem in the last few days, but have noticed it on other sites besides A2K. I think it is coincidental to my downloading and installing AOL 9.0 but can't swear by it.

Are you an AOL user, Diane? If so, wonder if they've screwed something up again.

Might be, Diane, the problem is due to an update for the IE.

Since Microsoft's latest security patch, Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (KB824145), the page advances TWO screens per click on scrolling.

The vertical scroll bar is now distance sensitive. If you click near the slider, you'll scroll up or down one screen, as before. If you click far away from the slider, you'll advance two screens

I've noticed erratic scrolling behavior on some computers (not just in websites).

As to the PM sounds they were removed about a year ago.

Thanks, all. I have been down with a bad cold and wasn't able to respond before now.

I don't have AOL, so I guess the IE update is the problem, Walter. I'll try clicking close to the slider.

As for the PM sound having been removed about a year ago......

that should do the trick.. I think..:-)

*a note--smooth scrolling is on by default(I think), so you would want to turn it off..
