I only have issues when I have been on a page for a bit, or a long post, then try to go back, and I am timed out and need to login again.

Is this the issue?

No problem here ... are you using the latest firefox Jeff?

Windows, linux, Mac or other? Makes a difference as well.

In the menu bar, click on "Help" then scroll down to "About". It will tell you if you have the latest version and (if memory serves) allow you to update from there if you don't.

1: What version of Windows?

2: When was the last time you cleared your cache? Great free tool: Crap Cleaner (does what it's named)

3: When was the last time you cleaned your registry? Great free tool: Crap Cleaner (also removes unused registry entries)

4: When was the last time you checked for Viruses and Spyware? I prefer to use Avast FREE and Malwarebytes FREE to do this.

... but what do I know? It's just what I use for myself and my customers.

Mine started doing that about a week ago, Jeff. I didn't complain because i thought I was the only one with the issue.

I installed the latest version of FireFox...no change. This forum is the only one I have the problem with.

Be careful with registry cleaning. If you do it too often it will (with some programs) cause more errors than it fixes.

Take a look at your system logs, you may have missing files or a hardware issue that's causing your problem.

I may use 5 or 6 different computers on any given day to access the site from different locations (Tnet' forum is one of the places I go to make sure my customer is actually pulling a web page and not just loading something from their cache), but so far I've not run across that problem.

Are you guys using a regular mouse or maybe a "gaming" mouse or keyboard? I've seen both of those cause issues because they always want to communicate with the internet while you're browsing AND they have specially mapped functions.

My old Steelseries Merc Stealth keyboard (designed for Win XP) was causing stuttering issues before I upgraded last year.

I don't believe in gaming and have been here for 15 years or so.
been using Firefox since Marc sold the Site.
I don't think it's me all of a sudden
in the last week.
Especially with at least 2 others who saw this thread confirming issues also.

Being there are others, I'm guessing Glitch between the Server and something in our computers
like Flash Player
that is not 100% compatible due to a recent Update somewhere.
But me Being almost Computer illiterate. Only a Guess

I figured out that if I refresh the page, and then hit the back arrow, I can go back.
