Earl, baby, all the tea in China couldn't get me on the dark side...;-D

I know some pc people who have the difficulty as well. Maybe it's the browser...

Be well,

I'm on a G4 iBook, OS X.3.5 and it seems to be working fine.
Which browser are you using?
Are you using an external mouse with a scrollwheel?
Does it happen on other sites?
Have you repaired Permissions lately?
MOL uses frames, at times I have noticed issues where on must click within the frame for the scroll function to work properly.
I've seen this happen from time to time if there are a lot of browser windows/tabs open, particularly with Safari. Safari has a habit of hogging memory/cache and not letting go until you quit and relaunch Safari.
Another issue I've noticed is that if I have a lot of tabs/windows open it causes my scrolling (when using a scrollwheel) to act a little wonky, especially if I have pages open which contain content that refreshes automatically, like MOL.
Although this may be an issue with my mouse and the scroll speed I use, I tend to notice it more when I have several pages open with Safari and Mozilla.

David,

I thought I just tried, I like it on the dark side, no rulez.
So open, I can even install Linux on my machine if I fancy.

There is a version of Mozilla and Firefox for Macs. Have you ever tried, those?

Cheers,
Earl
