back arrow

[lashley]

are you ever going to sort this?

[Headbanger]

You must be unlucky lashley. I'm on IE and the GO back link on the left hand side above "Welcome Back" works perfectly

[Old_Geezer]

The link is a work around for simple go backs. Doesn't fix the actual problem which keeps catching me out too.

Sometimes the real back arrow works, sometimes not. I still have "advertisement" listed in the "recent pages".

Hi Lashley.

I've asked the technical team to have a look at this issue some time this week, they are very busy though!

If it is an option for you we recommend upgrading your browser to Firefox 8 or Google Chrome.

We have some tips on this here: http://www.theanswerb...our-internet-browser/

I beg to differ Headbager. All that link does is to reload the previos page as a new page, so you haven't gone back, you have gone forward. That is why the 'forward' button is inactive. The go Back link also disappears after using it once.

You are now stuck - cannot go forward - cannot go back (without using the dropdown menu).

Could you also get rid of the annoying banner across the bottom of the page. Pleeeaaase??

"Could you also get rid of the annoying banner across the bottom of the page. Pleeeaaase??"

We don't have any banners on the bottom of the page?

You'd have to be clearer on which one is annoying you.

As previously stated, we hope to have this issue resolved as soon as possible. Sometimes these things are trickier than they seem!

There's an annoying banner across the bottom of the page ?!?

[gen2]

What banner Jols?
I have a search box and below that are the text links and copyright messages.

Are you being targeted with an advertising banner?

[Headbanger]

I don't have a banner either-same as you gen2

[JoolsTwo]

I'm on IE9 and I get a banner across the bottom of the page that says -
'Internet Explorer has modified this page to help prevent cross-site scripting'
I have to click the X to get rid of it. It appears everytime I refresh or change topics. It's very annoying.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh those sorts of banners. I thought you meant the one demanding you post an answer :-)

I just assume it's another MS hare-brained idea.

There's a post here that explains how to get rid of the banner at the bottom which is nothing to do with AB.

[Jan1957]

Oops, would help if I posted the link

[JoolsTwo]

It seems to have started appearing around the same time as the <<<<Back<<<< appreared.

[JoolsTwo]

Thanks Jan will have a look at that.

Hi lashley
I sorted it by installing an Ad blocker .I have Firefox btw .
The smiley men jigging around at the top of the page were getting on my nerves big time stylie .
Funnily enough once I'd installed it my back button worked.
I know that AB relies on Ads to keep the site going but ..sorry Ed ....my sanity is more important :)

[AB Editor]

If sanity is important to you... why are you using AB?

[vivandorron]

Are you nuts Ed....asking shaney such a question.? I do hope you are not suggesting that one should be bonkers as a qualification for membership of AB.!!

On second thought, you may have a point; which would allow halfwits to ask questions. Consequently, I am enquiring...."Do you think the problem with the 'Back Arrow' will be resolved before Santa sets sail with his Sleigh.?

Ron.
