Chrome browser giving me trouble on JWN

  Moments ago the problem here started again. Open a topic from the main menu, no problem. However, try to navigate back to main menu with left arrow browser button, it doesn't work. Just like it's dead, but it's not. Right click that same button brings up a menu, and one item goes back. Yes, that works but it's a hassle.

  Then, click on another main menu topic and that brings up a full page ad to a movie.

  And there're others, all problems which seem limited to JWN.

  I've cleared my complete cache and cookies twice in the past week thinking that would help. I've completely uninstalled Chrome browser and reinstalled the lastest several days ago. Obviously, that wasn't the real problem.

  Any tips?

  I was having problems earlier this morning, FF, if that's any help. I'm using Chrome, and just reloaded it this week.
  
  A couple of times, when I clicked on a thread, and when I tried to get messages, I got a full page of code. Then, my Icons here in the Reply box kept appearing and disappearing.

  You are not alone. .)

  PS, meaning, maybe it's not you, it may be a problem with the DB.

  I get that all the time...could not make bold, do the quote box or add a smiley. As you can see it is ok today

  That's happerned to me before, too, BB. If I go out of the thread, and back in, it usually corrects, but it's a bit strange.

  I'm wondering, too, with the other problems. I'm doing some scans to check if my Chrome toolbar has been hijacked. It is very common, and there are quite a few viruses out there that are sneakily doing this (at least according to majorgeeks.com, which is my go-to site for fixing).
  
  If you have such a virus, FF, uninstalling and reinstalling your Chrome will NOT fix it ......... so keep your eye out for slowdowns in your puter, and any other little weird things, like the screen flashing, etc.

  Just a heads-up! :)

  I think I found the problem. I disabled a few chrome extensions plus uninstalled two of my bittorrent programs (installed when trying to download the latest WT library.)

  To learn what extensions are working place the following in your URL field and enter.

  chrome://extensions/
