[#4375864]

i have a 'back' button on my mouse to navigate, when i try to 'back' after opening a discussion, it will not go back as there seems to be loads of 'hidden?' pages i have to 'back' through..

when i go forward, i have to click loads of times to get to the point where i can go no further.

anyone else got this?

it is only happening on this site. bbc etc fine

Back and forward work fine for me too

Though on a desktop I usually just middle-click to open threads in the background in a new tab, read them, then middle-click the tab to close it.

KPHC: you're a Premier member, are you still seeing the issue with reduced ads? (assuming you have selected reduced ads)

Kinda surprised so many people use the back button - seems like a painfully slow way to surf.

Perhaps your mouse hasn't got the button configured to go back?
Why not open each post in a separate tab, thus never losing the overview page you originally clicked on?

Me too.

I have the forum "overview" / "bike forum" / "chat forum" set up and use them to click back to wherever I want to be after reading a thread.

It's slow because you have to reload the forum index each time you are done with a thread.

A "Previous Topic / Next Topic" option would be useful

I am not aware of any recent problems. Are you having a long-standing issue? Is this any browser in particular? I know some browsers have some design problems with back buttons. I would also suggest your mouse button software may be an issue if you are using it for browsing.

It often helps to clear your cache and close your browser. Please post if you can narrow down the problem, or if you have details you can email me.

It's not the physical effort - it's the loading speed.

Basically if you want to read 5 threads you need to wait for 9 pages to load, whereas the middle-click style means just 5 loads and I don't wait for them cos they load in the background.

Middle button/Wheel?

Possible to configure I guess, spend most of my time here on the laptop though (using the touch pad).

Ads are the biggest source of annoyance on here. Even on my works laptop, which is a Dell Precision for running FEA. XP pc at home often freezes on STW. Fine anywhere else, just here.

Can appreciate that without them the site wouldn't be here, but its getting past the joke.
Can tell its getting bad when going elsewhere seems the less annoying option.
Sorry STW. 🙁

Even logged into my Premier user account the issue is very much there , seems to be the following URL that just goes mad in the background, reloading and reloading so that my history shows this URL dozens of times and therefore can't immediately revert to my previous page....tres annoying!

same problem as KPHC - holding down the back button on the screen gives me a history of nothing but img.mediaplex.com/content/0/1994
Back button doesn't work.

Site also crashes on some networks, usualy when they are slow. Seems to be when it tries to load the adverts.

IE9 on Windows 7, probably fully patched & SPd as its a work laptop.

This is poor.

I click on a thread and go straight to the thread OK. When I get there the browser's back history shows that i'm one level down from the forums page and I can go back with one click. If instead of immediately hitting back I wait thirty seconds before looking at the back history there are nine copies of the thread page in there and I have to click the back button 9 times.

It looks like one of adverts or trackers is repeatedly loading the thread page.

It's very annoying.

I'm using Firefox 15.0.1 BTW.
