    Just a teeny little thing in the grand scheme of things but ...

    ... when I try to use my mouse to "scroll" through some of the pages on GC, it doesn't "scroll"; neither up nor down. It still does on some of them, but, the majority of them it simply ... doesn't! :noidea:

    Not even sure how it could be forum related to be fair, but, needless to say, it is not an issue I'm encountering elsewhere on the web.

    Just letting you know :blue thumb:

    Hmmmmm.... not something I have experienced on GC, or in fact any site I view on my PC at home. Funny enough though, my PC at work does the same occasionally on a couple of sites (BBC being one of them)

      I sometimes get that kind of thing with certain sites, I'm still getting a message saying shockwave cannot be loaded but I cant actually see what shockwave does as it all seems to work ok without it.

      Just wonder if the scrolling thing might be a browser problem?

        I have had it happen @"M" but I've decided it is when something is still loading and I am being a little too eager. So I wait a moment, left click my mouse and I am back in business. :dbgrtmb:

            I get it sometimes, has been bad this morning but I think my PC is in the middle of downloading and installing some updates. When I run Task Manager it's showing peaks of "100% CPU Utilization" that means it's not got much spare capacity for me. Depends on what version of Windows you are running, with Win 10 click on the bottom right hand icon to see if there are any notifications about what your PC is up to.

              I've just had GC refuse to scroll whilst using an Android touchscreen device.

                I have similar problems to John with my laptop although I use the touchpad not a mouse. When I first switch on updates kick in - in the background and that brings my computer almost to a complete halt for around fifteen to twenty minutes. It won't even allow me to type!

                    Never had a problem on the PC using this or any other site , still using my Microsoft Intellipoint mouse I bought in 2000 best mouse ever :blue thumb: GC can be a bit sticky on my android tablets , it's not really a problem , a few choice swear words with a touch of blasphemy cures it :biggrin:
