I don’t know if my problem is related to my browser (IE4) or to the board.

If I am reading a thread and move my mouse pointer out of the browser window and then back in again the thread scrolls back almost all the way to the top. This is quite annoying when reading a long thread.

I don’t have any similar problems in any other situations.

Anyone know why this happens?
