    sometimes mine doesn't work, not sure if it's ever done your deal or not, but I right click reply and left click open link in another window and it will go through from there

    I only get that problem when I start a reply and for whatever reason decide not to post it, and then try to go to another page. Don't know if that's the issue with you though.

    ...Not sure what windows 8 has to do with it, but..hate on!

    Like the others, only time I see that message is if I start something then decide not to. Or if you click back while in the middle of posting.

    But hey, you got it working. Might try dropping a support ticket to the admin.

    Do you have more than one browser installed, OldDude? If so, try logging in from it. If you do not have the same issue, try clearing out the cache and history, from the one that you are having the problem with. Or...it could be... operator error

    Probably not Windows 8 - but Internet Explorer 10. Try changing to compatibility mode for IE 9. Many, many websites are not properly configured for IE 10 - and yet Microsoft forced it on us anyway.

    I refuse to use Explorer of any type...Firefox works for me and do occasionally get that message but I just click "leave the page".

    I prefer firefox myself, an never have the issue unless I've started to type into the reply box.

    Great minds think alike KZ, now if we could just get you to smarten up on football teams.
