I'm not quite sure where to put this, so we'll start here.

The forum is kind of broken in Firefox 3.6.6 on XP. Every time an ad loads, the focus jumps down to the bottom of the page. Just happened to me right now while I was typing this.

This only started for me earlier today.

Anyone else seeing the same thing? Other browsers?

I'm at work on some version of IE on XP.

When I'm typing, an add will load and I will have to click back in the reply box to continue typing.

On my home machine, I enabled ads on NSMB but will terminate them if this happens there too. It's pretty annoying.

I shut down Chrome, and reopened with adblock enabled Firefox. No more issues.

Wow. So many replies in such a short time!

As a follow up, IE 8 doesn't seem to have quite the same issue. It does, however, take the focus away from the textbox if you happen to be typing when an ad (re)loads. Where the focus goes, who knows?

Adblock Plus installed - no problems now :)

I think I'll be scanning my machine tonight, though.
