I experience this problem only when using my "secondary" computer which is basically my old computer that I built a few years back. Anyway, it has a 2GHz Athlon X2 (dual core), 2GB RAM, and a 128Mb (I think, might be 256) Radeon X1950PRO video card (factory overclocked)...not exactly a slouch, especially for surfing the internet.
When I am in ANY forum on this site be it the main index or a subforum or am reading any thread with or without pics (one pic, five pics, ten pics, doesn't matter) it scrolls like an epileptic on valium...only way I can describe it. Other forums with pic intensive threads it scrolls smooth as can be but not so here. Even the home page does the same thing so it's not limited to the forums.
I scroll down with mouse wheel and it is slow to react and move the page down. When it does move it jumps one line at a time (roughly, maybe 1.5) almost like I am using an ancient computer and the hardware is freaking out. It is like downloading a large picture with dial-up and watching the pic appear line by line only in this case it's everything from text to graphics. Makes it very annoying to try and read anything, I have resorted to using the Page Down button or trying to guess how many times I should scroll.
It does not do this when I use my other computer that uses an Intel Core2Duo with twice the RAM and a pretty nice Nvidia video card. But like I said, the specs on this computer are far from out-dated and it only occurs on this particular forum.
Any ideas? Thanks! I love this forum but this problem is giving me a headache I would use my other computer but a 50" monitor isn't as great as it sounds for reading after about 10 minutes lol.
