  When I read blogs on Freshly Pressed, and scroll back, black lines appear across the screen. Return to top, they disappear. It happens repeatedly, is there an explanation?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t know what your operating system is or what browser and version of it you are using, nor am I aware of any of your computing environment details, hence, I cannot provide an answer.

  Will you please try some troubleshooting for me so we can isolate the cause?

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  That’s all pretty much standard-issue, common sense response, and Yes, I’ve done that. I’m using a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13″ with Safari and the original OS, 10.7.5. I thought it might be a code issue with the theme for my blog (2010), but it occurs regularly when I browse other blogs, other themes on Freshly Pressed; and it doesn’t occur anywhere else.

  Once again, this happens only when I back-scroll to re-read something. Thin black lines appear across the screen. If I go back to the top and start over, they don’t re-appear as I scroll down, only if I back up.
  If this were a problem with my computer, why would it only happen on WordPress? hmmm…
