After I post, my browser refuses to do anything, but scroll down to my post. I Simply HATE this feature. My internet is slow, but I take pity on the 56k'ers and lower... I usually will post then go somewhere else, and If I want to see my post I will scroll down myself.... But nope, I get no relief. It takes thirty seconds to scroll down while I cant do anything, when I'd rather be on my way. Is there any way you could change this?

I can scroll up and down while the whole page is loading with no problem, sometimes once the page is done loading it scrolls down there if I'm not currently scrolling though. It might be your browser, I use IE. What are you using?

FF and Netscape are the same -- if the page is loading you browse freely.

If your that annoyed by it just uhm, open a 'new window' or 'new tab' for posting replies -- type your reply, submit it, then close the window/tab xD

I think Mozilla loads every image, file, and text piece by piece instead of trying to get them all at once like internet explorer.

And about the scrolling thing: I believe that that's perfectly normal and is not a function of the browser but by warboards itself. Everytime you post it'll view your post right after, and unless it freezes I don't see how that can be such an annoyance.

I've noticed this to... its not much of an annoyance to me, but if you have a slow connection, I can see how it is bothersome. It annoys me a little to... I wish it didn't do that, if I wanted to read my post, I'de go down to it, and read it.

like the guy DFIK said: Its not my browser loading, its the stupid html code that makes the browser scroll down to my post.
