just a heads up caster(though it may be a me specific problem) i have not been able to use the back button on this forum for about the last 2 weeks now. it works fine on all the other forums and sites im a member on though.

Which version of Internet Explorer on which OS?

[Mckinney_Tx]

just switch to google chrome....and i used to worship firefox!

[captainkirk]

I just open each new topic in a new tab usually. I haven't had problems when I occasionally use the back button though.

[dragonwingbreeze]

im pretty sure its the newest explorer and vista OS.
its also showing the add at the top of the page under the shoutbox as "The webpage cannot be found" and also the one under this quick post box.

[Stratuscaster]

I will have to dig into it. The ad issues I'm aware of.

[Trikster04]

I'm using IE7 on Vista and have the same issue sometimes. Have to hit back like 2-3 times to go back one page

[Mckinney_Tx]

funny thing is i have that problem randomly but sometimes its differnt pages, and i use google chrome. i just right click and go back 2pages.

[captainkirk]

I have had that random back button thing before. I would click it, it'd do something and load a page, but it would still be the same page. I kinda figured that to be an explorer issue since it happened in different spots. It came and went as it pleased.

[dragonwingbreeze]

an update on this caster, still having the same issue but ive found if i hit the back button like 3 times it will finally go back a page

[Stratuscaster]

I've not been able to replicate the problem on my systems at work and at home.

Do you HAVE to use Explorer?

It does it on Google Chrome too sometimes. I never really made much of it. It happens on particularly eBay but it does happen somewhat frequently to me on here. Double clicking the back button solves the problem most of the time for me.

its not so much a 'have to use explorer' its just what im used to and use. im not so hugely worried you fix the problem for me, but for the internet newbies that will come here will likely be running explorer since it comes on almost all computers nowadays.
oh and btw this is th eonly site i have any problems with it

OK. It's not that I don't WANT to fix it, mind you. Just looking for alternatives and workarounds while I take the time.

i know you are trying to fix it caster, you have always done great with this site.. its hard to fix a problem that you yourself are not able to replicate

3 clicks on the back button to go back to the previous screen for me.

I use Explorer 7. I have tried it with a different computer using Explorer 8 with exactly the same results.

:lol:

[BlackStratus]

Yeah it does the same thing to me too, i have the latest Explorer also

[Stratuscaster]

The problem is the way the browsers are handling the ads. When you back up, all it does it try to reload the last ad - because that was the last "page" that loaded.

[dragonwingbreeze]

havent been here as much lately but the back button problem seems to come up much less now when i do log in

[Stratuscaster]

I've tried to minimize the issue as much as I can.
