[Nfbc-info] social networking website resolution

[Lisamaria Martinez, NOMC]

See, my problem is that when I skip around by heading, let's say, I find 
"posted comments." When I find that, I arrow down to see what I have to 
choose from. Automatically I'm told I'm at the bottom of the page and then 
I'm skipped around to various other places on the page. I turned refresh 
off.
