A Little "Navigation" Help, Please . . .

[RadicalModerate]

The other day--maybe yesterday--I noticed that immediately after posting a reply or whatever the touchpad on my laptop goes dead on this site. Refreshing doesn't do anything to fix this but completely logging out and re-logging in does. I also noticed that if I click the "Blog This Post" button and return to the Forum functionality has been returned at least until the next post.

Is there an unwritten--or written--rule that I violated somehow about too many posts in too short a time or whatever?
Maybe by posting too many pictures at one time in the recent past?
If so, I apologize and I mean that sincerely.

Any suggestions on what I need to do--or not do--in the future to remedy this situation?

oh... that's for users who are on double secret probation. but seriously...

hmmm. that's pretty weird. when you say the touchpad goes "dead" are you saying that you can't move the mouse cursor around anymore? if so, i can't think of anything that would do that... not just with this site but any site. i'd be curious if you hooked up a mouse to your computer if it'd do the same thing. really strange. -M

Double Secret Probation? I laugh--or at least scoff--at the term. =)
I agree that it's pretty weird.
Yes. That is what I mean (in terms of [mouse]/cursor, moving around).

Weird, for sure.
Perhaps it's only this cheap, foreign laptop I got as a birthday present a couple of years ago, yet who knows?

Funny part is, it's only on this site the phenomenon seems to occur.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Please share that sentiment with Pete.
(no kidding)
