I've noticed more often than not this week that when I try typing a word or two I instantly scroll to the bottom of the web page. If I try do delete a line of text my cursor will have highlighted it but in a read-only sort of way where I can't delete, backspace, cntl + x, or anything. It's been bad enough that I'm now writing my posts in notepad and pasting them into the rich text box.

Any ideas what that is?

This website is advert rich which can really spoil the enjoyment of the website ( a necessary evil these days ). Do you use an AD blocker ? If not try using one to see if this helps. I use Firefox & Ad Block Plus but there are many alternatives :)

Make sure you Flash is updated too :D

TY, I'll look into these options and see if they help.
