The fact that the entire surrounding area around the underlined text is clickable makes the site a pain to navigate if you have a wheel mouse.

Whenever i have to make the screen/window active again so i can use my scrolling wheel i have to go all the way to the top or bottom to find a dead area to click. Thats a pain when it would be much easier to just click some random area but you can't do that here cause the whole site is compromised of giant monster sized weirdo links.

I really don't see the reasoning behind this. Is the average user really having that much of a problem lining up the little arrow on the blue line that we need links the size of crazy bread? This isn't 1999, I think were pretty good at that $hit now.

Sorry but this has bugged me for some time now and I just had to gripe. FatWallet's not like that, nor is Amazon, Yahoo!, Drudge, IGN... okay SlickDeals is the only site that I've ever been to that has this problem.

Please SlickDeals fix this. I think were all cool with just the underlined text being hot, not 98% of the screen.

I've noticed this before, but it doesn't bother me too much. I have to go to the left, top, or right to avoid clicking a link though.

I think it must have something to do with software or brand of mouse. I have a scrolling mouse at home and I have absolutely no problems clicking in/out. At work I have a different scrolling mouse and I finally see the problem that you're talking about. My mouse at home does not make the entire area clickable but my mouse at work does. In order to get around it, I use the mouse over the "views" column because it is never clickable.

I have a scrolling mouse also and have never run across this issue.
