    hook threads? They are annoying as hell and banned on many forums. I know i created one just now, but it was to make a point.

    Ok, I'll go away now...

    Sorry, I guess i thought everyone just read all of the threads on this board anyway. Maybe that's just me. Didn't mean to waste your time with my hook. I guess you took the bait. Not trying to pad stats just trying to create conversation. Thought that was what this was all about????

    I was about to say it. Dar, it's like me making a thread saying "Steelers big stars will not play". Then when you click on it I will say shamarko, touissant, matekivich, Hubbard, Justin Gilbert all out for Sunday. Well shark is a big star but you get what I'm trying to stay

    I guess I'm falling further behind in all this computer jargon. I thought a "hook" thread would lead me to Craig's list where I would be able to find a date for the night. Who'd a thunk it?

    Ahh. Do you by any chance have a touch screen?

    same here on Chrome and yes I have a touch screen. Does that negate it?

    Yeah, to my knowledge Chrome is the only browser that throws a "mobile" flag on touchscreen computers. You can get around it by setting "enable touch events" to disabled here:
    Code:
    chrome://flags/
    (you copy/paste that into your address bar). I don't use the touchscreen for anything in Chrome personally, so I have mine set to disabled.
