Exactly Jason - running a cached copy of Prototype from Google is the best solution (with a local fallback) but you are right it is huge - and I HAVE to load it to run MyBB. I only need to load jQuery for eye-candy and so I personally cannot justify the extra loading time.
Do not get me wrong - rather, read my post - I am Looking forward to using 1.8 and jQuery.
If you're strictly using jQuery for eye candy, than you're using jQuery wrong. 94kB is not huge, I don't know where you're getting your facts from. That will take about 64ms (including latency) to load via a Chrome audit and that's not even from a cached source.
Your arguments are invalid.
That is of course an opinion Jason, and you are entitled to it as I am to mine. Prototype can do anything jQuery can, so if I load jQuery to do what prototype can then that is because I am better at using jQuery than I am at Prototype. That is my failing, not the library and the MYBB core and Prototype does the job on the board.
I am not arguing anything, I am stating my opinion. Is that invalid too?
Anyhoo - back on topic - thank you for the jQuery solution - I shall keep it in mind come 1.8.

How is the actual weight of a file and how long it will take to load an opinion? Enlighten me on that...

Oh, strange.
So, I'm assuming this solution works, which is good. As an added safety, if anyone would like, you can also apply a huge negative left offset (left: -10000px) to the <a> tag; just so it doesn't end up being one of those invisible elements that prevents you from clicking on something.

hahaha
weird thing is this only seems to happen if you click anchors within the page more than once
Does your menu have a large z-index value assigned?
um?
The weight of the file and the time it takes to load is a fact. Whether you agree on my opinion as to its importance is another issue.
I don't want to turn this into a long bla bla.
If you read my posts you will see that I am waiting for 1.8 just like the rest of you. Then I can use jQuery instead of Prototype. That is it.
So how much jQuery are you using on Dietary gaming anyway? I THINK - not much, if any, and it looks nice.

Brad - I saw that happening on Chrome and increased the Z-index on the menu - it seemed to fix it.
damn you staff and your double posting abilities
