Just started today. I used to be able to hover over a thread and get a quick view of the post…now I have to double click and open the thread. Same thing with searching for new posts…single has turned to double. In fact, most everything requires 2 taps. Could I have inadvertently made a combination of keystrokes that would cause this? The beach ball has made an annoying appearance as well.

EDIT…just tried hovering on this site…works fine…dunno.

Hover should show the thread original post contents, and a single click opens. if this is not happening on whatever Mac you are using with Lion I take it, try Repair Permissions first up.

I've had my iMac for several years now….pretty much trouble free..I have no idea where the Repair Permissions are.
