"Back Arrow" Issues

[AB Editor]

Morning,

We're working on a resolution to the problem which sees IE9 users unable to click back to previous pages.

The bug is one in IE9 - it considers each ad on the page to be a separate page (the way we show ads is normal industry standard, we're not doing anything odd here.)

A simple solution is to switch to FireFox and update to the latest version. A quick how to can be found here: http://www.theanswerb...our-internet-browser/

Some have suggested there is an issue in other browsers, if you've had an issue similar to this, please inform us of the browser version below. I've yet to be able to replicate any of these issues in other browsers.

There was a post last night suggesting it was a security concern regarding the issue. This is not true, the post was alarmist and misinformed. It has since been removed to avoid confusion.

Please direct others who are talking about this subject to this thread.

Thanks in advance,

Ed.

I don't ever use the back button on AB either, 2sp, so this is all a bit of a mystery to me.

'Theory' Ed, isn't it time the Techies sorted it out technically?

I have now had to update my Firefox and although I have had to lose my Google search bar in doing so, at least I have got the 'Back Arrow' working once more.

aog...You have done what I had to do because AB is unable to overcome the problems with Avatars and the Back Button.

Anyway, I have downloaded the following, which is a Google search Page that is absolutely free of any clutter. ( Thanks to AlBags for having recommended it.):-

I 'just' tested IE8 (I never use it normally) with AB and a couple of other tabs loaded .. and it back-buttons fine, also 'go-back's fine.
Only thing I can think .. is I have a modified hosts file. Obviously, this is ad-related (what is loaded on page) Little else different with mine.

Me too, methyl - that moving ad at the top of the page is a pain in the butt.

AB Editor...where has the "<<<<<back<<<<<< button gone from the top of the page ? It was there a couple of days ago and now its not. I use IE9 and I can't use my browsers back button anymore. I know I can right click on the mouse and choose the back option. but you solution of a week or so ago was jolly useful !

Correction Ed...I use IE8, with Vista.
