Damn scroll wheel!

[mrdevious]

Just a quick question... does anybody else get this super-annoying scroll-wheel problem? Basically if I'm making a post and acidentally just turn the scroll-wheel on my mouse a little bit, it makes me go back a page or two and completely lose my entire post, ARGH! Is there some way to turn something off so that doesn't happen?

have you got mouse drivers loaded??? go to your control panel and hit mouse and see if you can asign actions for the wheel button... I find all 5 button mouse drivers make the mouse go crazy...

Touchpads are really annoying...

Another thing you want to check is the config of you browser like FF... see if there is mouse actions option somewhere in there... I know in Maxthon I can assign actions to all my buttons...

Yeah man, the mouse scroll bar is for going up and down on a web page not backwards or forwards. Check your mouse options/browser options.

The prob is that the wheel has 2 functions scroll when turned and it is a button when pushed... when you scroll you sometimes put to much preasure and avtivate the button... I do it all the time mehself so I set that button to do nothing in options...
