Mozilla question

I've just started using this browser and have a problem.

When I go to one of my watched threads and click on New it jumps right to the end.

How do I fix this?

Thanks, Joan

Is it skipping past new posts? When I click on 'Skip to New' it jumps down to the bottom right at the newest thread added since I last checked.

If there aren't any new posts on a thread, it will jump all the way down to the bottom. If there are new posts, it jumps to the first new post since the last time you checked.

At least, that's what mine does...

Sorry, I should have added that when I open the thread and click on new it jumps right to the end instead of the posts added since my last visit.

Yes tucsonjill, that's what it did on Internet Explorer.

See my previous post.

Which Mozilla browser? I'm using Seamonkey 1.1.4 w/o problems.

When I press new it always goes past any answer and I have to scroll back up, I think. Let me check.

I was wrong. New takes me to the last response where I can read it.

I'm using Firefox and I should have mentioned that the site I'm on when this happens is Dave's Garden. I've checked and their cookies are allowed.

You might try the computer forum.

Are you sure you're only clicking once on the thread title to get into it? Back when I was on dialup, I would sometimes get impatient and click on the thread title a couple times, and for some reason even though it hadn't opened the thread's page yet, somehow it had already registered the first click and when I clicked a second time and it finally opened the page, the computer thought that I had already been there and skip to new would take me all the way to the end. But if I was careful and only clicked once and was patient waiting for the page to open, then it would be fine. I also know some people tend to double-click on things out of habit even when all you really need is one click, so if you're double clicking on the thread title, it might be doing that same thing to you.

yes, I've done that before too, not waited for the page to fully load before clicking Skip to New and it messed it up.

Well, I'll be darned. The double click was the problem.

I posted this question on another forum and you guys came up with the answer. Is there no such thing as double click on Mozzarella? I've got a few things to learn. Thanks so much.

Mozzarella? as in a pizza with double Mozzarella? Mmmmmm

Whoops, back to square one. Guess I'll have to use IE for Dave's.

why? Firefox works great for DG, it's the one Dave recommended.

I just tried IE, it's single click there too.

I use Firefox for everything and I love it!

I have IE but I don't like it so I don't use it except for one piece of software it offers.

Any web browser you use you shouldn't have to double click on a link to make it work, I've used several different web browsers over the years and they all work with just one click on the link.

It boils down to this.

Whatever I did in the past is not working on Mozilla. And the question is why?As ecrane3 said the one click should work with any web browser.
And why did it work one time then quit?
Me thinks there is something else afoot.

My guess is you may not be allowing the page to fully finish loading before clicking? I tested it and it messed up for me every time by skipping past new posts.

You shouldn't double-click any hyperlinks in any browser; that will result in the same skipping to the end of a thread regardless of what browser you're using. Wait until the page fully loads before clicking the "skip to new" link, and don't click it more than once. See if that helps.
