    Back Button Issue

     
    My XP machine with IE8 has an issue here with the back button... If I've gone into a thread I have to click the IE8 back button twice to get it to go back. My five button mouse's back button does the same thing.

    If I'm just looking at a list of threads - one click works.

    My two Vista machines with IE7 don't have any problems.

    No issues here with Firefox or IE9

    My XP does that sometimes, when another window is highlighted.

    Same with refresh.

    It's back again.
    I have to click at least twice to go back... Sometimes even that doesn't work so I have to click one of the links in the upper left....

    Two pc's.... XP IE8 and Vista IE7

    Happens sometimes to me as well on my work machine, XP with IE7. Seems okay at home with Win7 & IE9.

    I've also notices, that when it won't go back, even with 3 clicks, if I do 2 or 3 clicks, real fast, it usually works.
    In my case it dose seem to reload, but doesn't go back.


    I've always assumed, it was the sight doing it, by somehow redirecting you back to their sight.

    I was thinking, I beat the redirect, by clicking fast.

    In IE9 it looks like its related to the ads, if you right click your back button there seems to be some "script" that is between the current page and the last one. Oddly some of what is there isn't anything that is on TIMO ???

    and oddly it doesn't seem to be there when I'm logged in.
    ops nvm its there even when I'm logged in

    Now of all random things editing posts with IE9 seems to be broke??
