    This has probably been done, but why isn’t the back button on my browser working on this site?

    It doesn’t take me back to the overview page

    Dunno about your back button, why would it go to the overview page? Of late on here my mouse back button works intermittently (to previous viewed page) or copy txt with the mouse (holding left click and highlight, though can do it via the keyboard), just this site none other. Does seem weird stuff is happening on here

    That’s a cruel trick!

    Same problem here. I have to click on the forum button up top to go back.

    Fine here. User error? (-:

    The ‘back’ button should take you to the previously viewed page, regardless of site.

    Random thought, what browser are you using?

    Same for me. Chrome on Android. Taking 3 presses to go back one page. Only been happening the last few days.

    I think the page is doing an auto-refresh or soemthing as the browser back history shows several copies of the same page in both the forum main page and each post. Something to do with the ad platform?

    I noticed this yesterday after updating Chrome (on a Windows desktop pc). Very annoying!

    Clicking the browser’s back button does not take me to the previous page (be that the overview or a previous page in multiple page thread).

    Back arrow just re-loads the current page. Chrome on a Windows 7 PC.

    Theres a recent known problem with “free loader plugin” on some sites using IE and chrome. Firefox not affected.

    Just done some science. Seems to be ad related. Cougar/Drac does it do it for you if you turn ads back on?

    The “freeloader plugin” problem occurs depending on what ads you’ve been served: so it wont happen all the time or for all users.

    And the freeloader term above isnt me: its automatically replaced / edited in my post.

    You appear to be correct. Just fired up IE and replicated the issue. Hm.

    I’ve flagged it with Them to have a look at.

    We made a change.
    Can anyone let us know if it’s still happening?

    Cougar
    Full Member

    Yep, still happening.

    It wants to go back to delivery.platform.switchads.com/adserver/update_sat.html?v=1.4-QUNIT; if you wait a few seconds, it reverts to the correct page.

    I find it works fine but depends on how fast it loads the page.

    Cougar
    Full Member

    I don’t know as it’s loading time, so much as whether or not you wait a few seconds after it’s finished before hitting the button. Seems to be, anyway.

    Something like that but it was working great in the pub with a poor connection but at home with a fast connection there’s a delay before I can use it.

    Well I think you know the answer to that then Drac, back to the pub with you 😉

    Any chance we could have a ‘forum’ link at the bottom of each thread? It’d save using the back button and make fore better navigation.

    Always been annoying that. Don’t understand why there can’t be one directly after the last post.

    I keep on scrolling to the bottom where it says ‘Website and Forums’ and hit ‘Forum Overview’

    Back button working ok here on Dolphin, but as I say, I hit Forum overview at the bottom, as the back button doesn’t refresh the threads Shirley?…

    8 back button clicks to get out of the tipster thread just then, but often just 3, and sometimes 2. Seems to be time in thread related.

    Unusable on my android phone- seems to auto update every 30 seconds (the url box re-appears) and then it bounces me from wherever I was to the top of the page.
