I have two problems to report, one of which has occured since I registered for the site, the other has stared here recently.
Problem 1: Battle Screen does not respond to labtop touchpad
I play a lot on my labtop, and I use the doubletap feature on my touchpad to click on just about everything, but for some reason the battle screen will not allow me to select an enemy for my attacks with this method. I can tap it rapidly for anywhere from 10-20 clicks and it will finally register, but to maintain any sort of sanity I have to actually use the mouse button to select an enemy. Not so much a game breaking bug, but extremely irritating none-the-less.
Problem 2: Right click in Inventory breaks browser
This one is interesting to explain. I play in Firefox v.15.0.1 and as of the past three or four days when I've attempted to right click an item in my inventory to move into the sell menu, it brings up the Javascript right click menu that then refuses to go away, even when I move over to other tabs or other programs it hovers there on my screen, and it completely breaks my browser. To interact with anything on any website I have to double click, even buttons like my refresh and home and back buttons must be double clicked, I can no longer close the browser via the X button and must instead end the process from the task manager, and I can no longer type in search boxes or URL bars, it plays the "You are pressing too many buttons" noise instead and will not acknowledge my keystrokes. Sometimes just closing my Sylestia tab will fix it, but more often I have to crash the whole browser to fix it.
And before anyone says anything, yes I am aware my Firefox is out of date, no I am not going to update it. Mozilla has officially ticked me off with their rapid-fire updates breaking my add ons.

@RainbowMagicMarker,
For the first issue, selecting an enemy just uses an onclick command. I've never heard of any issues with users not being able to select enemies, so this sounds something specific to your laptop and/or the browser you're using on it.
For the second issue (and possibly first as well), a very outdated browser is always the prime suspect - especially if things are causing it to break.
The reason I imagine that the Right-Click part is breaking your browser is because the script has to use javascript to figure out whether or not you Right-Clicked or Left-Clicked on a slot. It is very possible that Firefox v15 did not handle that code well or handled it differently. That version is almost a year old and a lot changes over that period of time.
For both issues, I suggest trying Google Chrome. If double-tapping works in Chrome, then it's not your laptop and it's your browser. If it doesn't, then it may be something with your laptop's touchpad.
For the second issue, I'm 95% sure it's your browser. If you don't want to upgrade your Firefox, you can download Nightly. It's Firefox, but a beta version. It will not conflict with your current Firefox and is an entirely separate browser.
But I would try using different browsers to see if the problems can be isolated.

Problem 1: Testing in an up-to-date Google Chrome on the labtop the touch-pad problem persists, I hesitate to say that its something with my labtop because this is a very specific location in which it occurs and I don't have any other problems with the touchpad.
Problem 2: With problem two I think it may have perhaps been my error, and I apologize for reporting before I thoroughly tested the issue. I find the problem to be Multi-links firefox addon conflicts with the rightclick for inventory management. (Link to the addon if you're curious, just want to supply as much information as possible). Disabling the addon returns the site to proper functionality. I don't typically use the addon as its for a specific project on another site, so I had forgotten about it being installed and pinning it down as the problem. So I apologize for the error on my part.

@RainbowMagicMarker,
Hm. I have a question about the Double Tap... the Double Tap performs a double click, right?
When selecting enemies, you only click once. Clicking twice on an enemy will select and then deselect it.
Could that be the issue?
Because I've used my laptop before (and a tablet) and it works fine. I just tap the touchpad or tablet screen to select an enemy. But I don't use the Double Tap feature.

I happened to be in the middle of a battle when I read this so I thought to play around with it. I think the results are interesting;
Select the target for the First Pet -> Single Click works fine
Select the target for the Second Pet -> Slow Double Tap is required. (Slow being a second or two between taps)
Select the target for the Third Pet -> Same method as Second Pet, method for First Pet does not work.
Normally I don't double tap, just a single tap on the on the touch pad functions as a single click, it hadn't even really occurred to me that double-tapping was a thing I should be watching out for.

@RainbowMagicMarker,
Hm. Interesting. Well, with the adjusted tapping, everything's working now - right?
Just curious, what operating system are you using on your laptop? In case more issues arise in the future, I can maybe find some connection and figure out a solution.
We had a weird quirky issue with our dynamic images awhile back where only like 3 users were having issues. Ended up that they all used the same Anti Virus Program that was blocking our dynamic images lol. So this could just be another quirky issue with your combination of hardware, software, and our Site.

The labtop is an Acer Aspire 5552, running Windows 7 Home Premium, we use ESET NOD 32 for antivirus, and the labtop's version of firefox is generally up to date since it runs fewer add ons.
And yes, the adjusted method is working, but it's a serious slowdown from the rest of the site.
