Can't scroll down the forum with my mouse wheel?

[Cambrian]

Not sure if this is a bug or what, but it just started happening and its really screwing me up because I'm so used to browsing the forums using my mouse wheel xD

Its only this website too, every other one still allows me to scroll with my mouse wheel.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

If it were a site-side problem, that would be really weird, because I can't think of how I would do that on purpose, much less by accident.

Everything still works here, but following. If no one else has the issue, it's probably some problem with your computer, which could have arbitrary causes.

Sorry, I went directly to gibbousmoons with this and got it resolved, forgot to come back and say something here.

I restarted my computer and that fixed everything. Still very odd that mouse scrolling only broke for me on this one site and note the other 12 tabs I had open at the time, but it does seem like it was completely on my end.

Thanks for the response though!

I once was unable to connect to reddit, not matter what I did, no matter what browser I used. Restarted and no problems at all.

Clearly, computers operate via black magic.

I had a Kubuntu VM in VirtualBox. I had a lot of difficulty setting it up because it kept kernel panicking upon boot from the virtual CD. On about the fifteenth try, it suddenly worked and installed, and I used the VM with no problems for about a year. Then I had to export the VM due to a hard drive wipe, and when I extracted it and attempted to boot it up... it had gone back to kernel panicking on boot every time.

And once I had two non-working pirate copies of the same game, and spliced them together by accident which caused the result to work properly with no bugs.

You're not wrong.

Can confirm that it is not a site-side problem, or at least not an isolated one. I have experienced it on multiple unconnected sites. My bet is it's a rare Firefox bug that happens when a web page doesn't open properly for whatever reason.
