I'm not using my laptop - can't get on with it. But I will treat myself to a new mouse after my holiday.

Actually I'm not having trouble with ebay, games, word or excel. That's why I thought it was this site. We might be better apart for a while, and absence will make it fonder of me, ha ha.

Happens to me too a lOT. very annoying . I often get bumped back to my home page when trying to open a thread, I just go with the flow and get myself back to where I want. Do agree tho its very annoying.

I had a similar problem a short while ago (and indeed still do on the odd occasion). I use a laptop with a USB mouse. I tried different things to solve the problem then bought a new wireless mouse. Problem solved (so was obviously a dodgy wire on the mouse). Also, if you are using a laptop, maybe it has become a bit sensitive or is resting on a slightly "wobbly" surface. Another thing I tried was to restart - that seemed to help too. Every now and then my laptop decides it has a mind of its own - more so when on the internet. I just restart and all is fine again. cant help but wonder if the updates have something to do with it. Hope this helps!

Hi Maggie, I don't think so.
It happens while I'm typing or clicking over the left of page on bookmarks or threads, and switching from messages to community or vice versa.
Its been like it for days now, and I thought I was going potty. (well I am but its this site that is the cause)

This site has been doing things all day, ie wouldnt let me post messages earlier. Each time i pressed send, it wouldnt go. It kept saying there was an error on the page. I kept trying, in the end loads of the same message came up and then i had to start deleting! Other members have mentioned having problems also.

sounds a bit obvious, but is your cursor sitting on the sign out link or on the Friends link?

please could someone tell me why my GR site keeps jumping on to Friends Reunited. It is a nuisance and I have to wait a few minutes to get GR back.
