After I set my login this site is working just like the FK site did for me. The header/ads make for a bit of scrolling but if you use the page up/down, arrow, and end keys it should help.

NFRC/FYI: if scrolling is an actual pain issue (said the girl who starts PT tomorrow) just thought I'd share a couple of nifty items my ergo dept at work gave me that I really like.

1) a Rollermouse; this a tray that sits under a keyboard replacing your mouse

2) Xkeys; additional external keys that you program to do whatever you want. I like it b/c I can have up/down/end keys on my left side too (if I place the keys to my left side -- they can go anywhere). I can also program text/links/actions/whatever into a key so things I might type often I can plug into any doc or email by pushing one button - love that.

I've used the rollermouse for years and the xkeys for about 6-7 months. Love them both. I haven't used a mouse in years.

...Just thought I'd share in case it might be of interest to anyone. Really wish I knew about the xkeys earlier.
