Correct. You usually do well to ignore them, as as soon as a mod sees it, then it will get deleted (and if you don't ignore it, then you look silly talking about a post that doesn't exist )

alright, i was guessing that it was a user with some kind of trojan...

anyways...

im not sure if its due to other components, i will try disconnecting them later. but the problem only persists with the graphicscard enabled in the device manager (being disabled, or without a driver installed (or default even) it works like a charm), so i'd say it's most likely due to the graphics hardware

Hehe, ya, I think that one probably had a human behind it, as it made replies that were actually somewhat on-topic.

They tend to copy and paste posts from earlier in the thread.

(I also suspect that there are some other tricks they use to appear on topic, like finding cross posted threads and taking stuff from the different posts)

excuse me for bumping this old thread ...

I've read about this problem once.

Solution was turning off the Clock in the sidebar,
... (stutter every second) ...
... or the second hand at the clock.
(whatever that means, but it's mentioned like this).

They had quite some facepalm with this.

Maybe it helps,
altough it's quite an old thread.

Meh, we've had necro-threads that hadn't been touched in five years... Less than six months is nothing around here.
