Is anyone else having a strange scrolling effect on this site ? Instead of a smooth scroll it's kind of wavy.

I was using IE and having trouble. Jumpy scrolling. Pictures weren't displaying. I downloaded Firefox and when I pulled up threads where pix weren't displaying before, there they were.
Dump IE and you should see an improvement.

Firefox
I've used Firefox for years and had not seen any of the reported problems with missing pictures or flaky scrolling. I pulled up IE just to see the problems -- hmmm, yup, all those pictures are missing -- then put it back away where it belongs.

I've noticed sometimes it'll slow down when I scroll.

I've been experiencing:
The "Wave" as well, mostly on the AW-ORG, but on other Sites also, especially as mentioned those with Pix's.
Our wonderful Webmaster Posted about this somewhere, but I didn't think to see and reference his comment Posting.
It seems to be all right Today, but who knows what Tomorrow will bring of the "Wave" Scrolling.
Peace and Kind Regards, Steve

It only happens in threads that are very picture heavy. It takes 15 seconds or more for some of these threads to load even on very fast connections. If you see this happening just wait a until the entire thread is loaded before you continue scrolling down.
Hi Robert,
It is still happening in Thread 27014 around Post 416745 even after the thread has fully loaded. There appears to be no picture there, but the scrolling gets all jerky just around that post. Above and below it goes back to normal.
IE8 and WinXP here.

Hi Nathan, yes it looks like that picture was posted during the 36 hour period that they were changing servers on us and all the software wasn't loaded properly. Any thread with a picture loaded during that time period is going to act odd in IE. It seems Firefox and Safari are smart enough to handle the obvious HTML error that was caused by not having ImageMagic installed before they moved websites onto the new machine, but Internet Explorer can't handle the error properly.
So anything posted after Friday at 6:00 until Sunday early AM can be suspect.

Correction to times stated above...
I meant Thursday at 2/18/10 at 10pm (22:00) thru 2/20/10 midnight. If you want to properly view threads with pictures posted during this time period you will not be able to use Internet Explorer. After that time everything should be back to normal.

Thanks Robert
Because of the server issue over the weekend
This morning I manually went in and edited the thread Thread# 27015 <font color=red>1958 Philco TV</font> because it is so image heavy so people with Internet Explorer will be able to all the images. If there are other threads that need editing for the same reasons let me know.

What it comes down to, then, is
why on earth bother with Internet Explorer when there are so very many better alternatives?
I spent a very busy week helping a friend who runs the network at a small business (~50 workstations) cope with a nasty infection which can only come in through IE.
The only computers not affected were running Firefox or Chrome or Safari or Opera.
Robert, I really appreciate the time you put into these fora. The pictures are a big part of helping me learn and understand things, it's a shame they sometimes cause such distress.

Internet explorer...
Bit off topic...
I just tossed a new computer together for my brother, nice unit AMD quad core, 4G memory, 500g Sata hard drive, not bad for just over $200. Anyway I installed firefox and did all the updates, and I asked him how it was running today. He has NEVER used IE, yet he is getting IE pop-ups of ads all the time. He said he's using Kaspersky AV. Ads are anything and everything, not sex ads...
I hate IE....

why on earth bother with Internet Explorer
I've often wondered that. Ever since I first encountered IE, back when my local library shifted from using Netscape 4.x to IE-whatever on their public terminals. Overnight, it seemed like web browsing became more frustrating. Not that Netscape was necessarily great. I've seen/played with older versions in recent years. But it was, as far as I was concerned, a better choice back when it was still current. But the library made the change. Any time Bill Gates or one of his henchmen tell them what software to run, they run that software.
This library moved (briefly) to giving a Firefox option recently, then dropped that because the tech people couldn't get it work the way they wanted to. Frankly, given the problems of IE with viruses, they should be forced to standardize on Firefox. To save taxpayer dollars, I think they should also be forced to switch to Linux.
What has also really puzzled me is the way that even some supposed computer experts prefer it to the alternatives. Then, I imagine the top people at Microsoft use IE only. There was a news story in the last couple of years about how the problems chez Gates, where having an iPod or iPhone or anything non-Microsoft is a big no-no. (Link is about Gates banning iPod/iPhone)
