Could anyone tell me why - when I press the thanks button on a thread it flicks straight to the top of the page. It really is annoying.

I have a new laptop (with vista) - not sure if that has anything to do with it as it never happened on my old PC with XP???:confused:

Such a silly query - but none the less REALLY irritating............

Thanks in advance for any answers

    I can't replicate that.

    What browser are you using? Knowing that may help people answer.

    are you using a mouse or the thing on the laptop that is the mouse...which is very sensitive so could just be you being heavy fingered...try putting less pressure on your finger or get a usb mouse to use instead of the one on the laptop...hths

    My thanks button seems to be depositing £5 into the bank accounts of those who click it.

    Can anyone else replicate this behaviour? ;)
