Why do I have to click so much?!?

[DealMonkey]

Has anyone else noticed that they click a link and then look up @ their browser activity icon and notice that it's just sitting there? Doing nothing? Sometimes clicking again also does nothing? This happens to me all the time in both IE and firefox and it's pissing me OFF!

Grrrrrrrrr :|

maybe your clicking skills are sub-par.

Sometimes if your mouse is bad, it won't register clicks and movements. I'd get a new mouse first.

This happens to me too. Also occasionally when I click a link it pops up a box saying "blahblahwhatever.com cannot be found", but it pops up the box instantly and I can tell it didn't even try to find the site before popping the box up. Then when I click the link again it works fine.

I click on areas of the screen that don't even register clicks, dead areas if you will - incessantly. Don't feel bad.

*twitch* *click click click*

I'm ok, really....

I know what you mean... like when a page isn't totally done loading and you click on a link and have to wait to see if anything is going to happen.... gets me mildly irritated.

It was getting really irritating when I was trying to quickly go through ebay auctions in hopes of getting $1000 hehe

Yea, it does happen, just have to deal with it.

Maybe, but I can usually tell when I've got the link in my mouse's sights. For example, here at ATOT, links are blue but when the mouse is over 'em they turn orange and underline themselves.

I mean I know how to click dammit! Maybe it's this stupid MS Intellimouse Explorer Optical 4.0?!? It wouldn't be the first time I've inadvertantly killed a mouse.
