what ? you're not excited to read 100 posts of debugging and technical discussions ? how strange.

1. Has the issue been resolved (or at least understood)? and

it can be resolved by not using IE as your browser. use firefox instead. or chrome. (or opera, if you really must.
)

2. Is it related to this problem I posted the other day (which I would hope could be fixed some way, perhaps by preventing datavis.com from participating in the ads we host)?:
I hate it when I click on a thread and my browser is instantly redirected to the portion of the page where there is an ad displayed by this one particular company. I can live with ads being displayed. But leave the control of what I look at on that page to me. This has been happening far too frequently the last couple of weeks. Death to datavis.com.

probably not, however that shouldn't be happening : an ad should not hijack the page to display itself. i've not seen that particular ad so i can't comment for sure but i don't even see how that could be possible, since i'm pretty sure the ads are served passively in the background ; there is no link from within the site (that you would click on to get to the page with the ad in it, for instance) which would include an anchor to jump to that ad, and the ad should not include any extra script to force that behavior.
what browser are you using ? if it's IE, for god's sake, get
a real browser.
that will probably solve all your problems. or at least most of them.
if the ad *is* jumping to the top of the page (which, again, should not happen) then alex might need to look into it, but again i'm not sure that's possible. you can also use AdBlock Plus plugin (in firefox) to block the ad ; then you don't even have to see it.
