I'm posting this as an FYI in case someone else has the same issue.
For the last month or so, when I would click on some threads, I would get bumped completely off the site as if I had hit the "X" in the upper right corner. I asked about this here and other places and no one had an answer.
Well, it turns out one of my anti-crap programs, System Mechanic, has an overly-aggressive pop-up blocker. Once I disabled it, the problem went away.

Again, just an FYI....


More flags More fun!

Thanks Grump, I was wondering what was doing that! I thought it was just the company Firewall. Popup Blocker disabled, Thanks!

Just ASKIN'!

Ya see...I ain't too well versed on this here computer thing-a-ma-bob!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
