    I used to write this off to fatfingers and brain farts... but it's happening more and more, and now I know it's not me.

    I'll click a thread, and the next thread down in the list will open. This is happening more than in the past.

    Now there's a new one...

    Clicked on a member name to get to their profile, and a different profile opened. Tried it again, same result... and the second member's name was nowhere to be seen on the page.

    I have had similar results clicking on threads. I thought it was me, then I thought it was because the "new posts" page was background updated and I didn't notice it before I clicked. Maybe it's a cache thing?

    I notice this mainly when using the slow wifi at my house. I assumed that the page was still loading, and what I thought I saw on the screen was being updated. The 'puter gave me credit for clicking on what belongs there rather than stale page that I'm fingering.

    I’ve had issues on my iPad where I’ll click on a link in a thread and when I go back to new posts I find I’m not signed in anymore. Happens about 30% of the time.

    Happens all the time.

    Thirty percent of the time it happens all the time? I thought it was 3%

    If you're using Windows 10 right click on the desktop, select display settings, find scale and layout. Make sure it's 100%. I see here some apps and web pages don't put your clicks in the right place if you over 100%
