emailking Posted July 7, 2007 I imagine there must be other people besides me who view this forum in FireFox. Every time I open a page on the forums (a thread or a board itself), once the page is fully loaded it automatically goes all the way to the bottom of the page. Very annoying, and it doesn't happen with IE. Anyone have a solution? 0 Share this post Link to post
Hekksy Posted July 7, 2007 This is one of my peeves with Firefox actually. I have the same problem...but it happens with every web page for me. Anyway it's exactly how you described it, the page loads and when it finishes it just jumps to the bottom of the page for no reason. My solution? Screw Firefox and switch to Opera. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted July 7, 2007 Use your hosts file to block all of the hosts involved in ad serving. AFAIK it is a JavaScript setting focus to the iframe at the bottom of the page that causes this. If the host the script comes from is blocked, then it cannot execute and that shit will stop. 0 Share this post Link to post
Erp Posted July 7, 2007 I use Opera and feel the exact opposite way. When I click View New Posts and then on a thread, I don't want have to manually go to the last page and then scroll to the bottom, maybe we can trade browsers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted July 7, 2007 Try clicking on that downward pointing arrow next to the thread link instead of on the thread title. Though it's completely non-obvious, that graphic is linked to take you directly to the newest post in the thread. 0 Share this post Link to post
Catoptromancy Posted July 7, 2007 Always happens to me, only on these forums. Never cared enough to bother about it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thanks, I should have figured that out a long time ago. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom2day Posted July 7, 2007 Heh. It happens to me so much that I don't notice it anymore! Having a second browser for a certain website sounds pointless/silly to me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tango Posted July 7, 2007 It happened to me before, even when I had AdblockPlus. Then I realized that I actually had to add some filters myself for it to work. :P banner.telefragged.com http://ad.yieldmanager.com adlog.com.com http://view.atdmt.com/ Those are the filters I have. banner.telefragged.com and ad.yieldmanager.com is all you need for DoomWorld I believe. 0 Share this post Link to post
chungy Posted July 7, 2007 Or use NoScript and *only* allow sites you trust to use Javascript 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted July 7, 2007 yieldmanager's a particularly aggressive ad host; I have to block it everywhere I go. 0 Share this post Link to post
Antidote Posted July 7, 2007 It happens to me, but I just scroll all the way back up. I haven't noticed it happening anymore, ever since I got AdBlockPlus. Although it could be something entirely different, I don't know. 0 Share this post Link to post
