It's worth trying Firefox but I don't know why this would happen in the first place...
hmmmm... Lucky 13. I have no idea what I did after I posted in the birthday thread. I think I got involved in a very funny thread on another forum.

I am quite literally blind to time. It would be quite the feat for me to do ANYTHING repeatedly exactly on the hour.

I would suspect malware, too; but the other forums I visit have had no problems. They are very large forums, however - far bigger than the Cellar. I still don't get how a $300 E-Machine from Walmart can wreck so much havoc. When I get home tonight, I will run a malware and anti-virus program. I will also switch my browser to Firefox.

Hope that helps.
