Bug?
Hey everyone,

I had this small issue for quite some time and wonder if it happens to anyone else as well. Basically, it happens when I click my "computer specs" icon when viewing threads. This only happens with my icon, and only the first time I click it when visiting.

It takes me to the forum's index page when I click it that first time. All other times, it...well...displays my computers specs that I set in my profile.

Is it supposed to do this? Does this happen to anyone else? I can refresh the page which fixes the problem, so it is not a big problem, just interested if anyone is experiencing the same problem.

Thanks

I think it will do that if the drop-down menu hasn't loaded yet. Might just need to wait until the whole page loads.

And I bet you're using Firefox? Internet Explorer and Firefox render in a completely different way. Say for example, when Internet Explorer renders a <table>, it downloads all the objects in that table before displaying it. This is required so that Internet Explorer can render the table with the correct width for each column. Where as with Firefox, it renders all objects progressively, regardless whether it's in a table or not. Thus, Firefox will display the page quicker and make it unusable the first few secs -- especially on a vBulletin board.
