Does this happen if you have all plugins deactivated? Have you tried switching themes to see if it is a theme related theme?
Thank you for your response. I think I may have found the answer though I am not sure why it worked.
In the appearance menu there is a field for the url. Searching the themes forums they had someone put a # sign in there. When I did that, it worked immediately. I would love to know what that # stands for. Can you tell me? I did not ask their forum.
