I installed Google Chrome and I love it. My big issue though ..when I click on a link, it goes to that page but automatically scrolls to the top of the page (thereby losing the spot the link was taking me to on that page). I’ve tried to find information about this online and in my account settings with no luck.
Can I change this somehow?

I use Chrome as well and I’m not familiar with this at all, do you have an example maybe?
For instance, does this link take you down to the sailor award?

It does for the first second but then pops up to the top. This happens every time I click any link. I see the spot for a second before it scrolls quickly to the top.
I’m not sure. A couple of thoughts
> I just checked for a new version of Chrome and there was a new release – you can update by going to Settings (looks like a wrench in the upper right) and then “About Google Chrome” – it should run a quick check and update as needed – I just got version 18.0.1025.152 m
> It sounds almost like the page is being reloaded each time you open one, this might be something an extension is doing. You can disable them temporarily under Settings -> Tools -> Extensions
> It could also be your anti-virus, but I’d be surprised, you can usually shut those off for just a moment to test it out
> When all else fails, a restart is always a good guess, restart the system and see if that fixes it.
If still no luck after all that, I hope someone smarter than I can help you out ;)
Ok, I tried everything you listed above. The extension thing worked. It ended up being a uTorrent extension that was included in the Google Chrome installation. I can now use the internet links without issue.
Thank you @funkdaddy so much!
