Anyone else having trouble with the back button?

Rhoda Nightingale · Oct 18, 2012

It's just on this site, so I don't think it's my browser or my lappy, but lately on AW when I hit the back button I either have to click on it twice--and I don't mean double-clicking, I mean clicking it properly once, and then again--for it to take me to the previous page, or the back button just flat-out does nothing.

Anyone else having this issue? What's going on there?

I suspect that you're using I.E.

see this thread.

Ah-ha! Glad it's not just me at least. Thanks.

Feel free to lock-slash-delete this.

Yup, I've been recently having the same problem with IE.

Me, too. IE9 user here, as well.

In my case when on AW, I hit the back button, and the little forward button to its right lights. At that time, I hit the back button a second time, and back I go like in H.G. Wells' novel.

Friends don't let friends use I.E.

Seriously, I know there may still be some sites that require I.E. for transactions, but it's a non-standard Web browser. Opera, Chrome, Firefox and even Safari all better choices in most cases.

I am worried . . . worried, I tell you . . . that you'll be stalked by the IE-9 legal team.

They can't even code to their own public standards.

They don't follow Federal disability standards.

I.E. is a petri dish for malware.

You couldn't pay me to support I.E., never mind have to create an entirely separate CSS version for the last 3 versions of I.E.

They have comma splices in their Help file.

Have a nice free download of Chrome, or Firefox, or Opera or Safari.

The other issues are annoying, but this one truly damns them.

I'm with Maggie. I can tolerate anything but comma splices. Thanks, Lisa, for the alternatives. I'll try 'em in alphabetic order.

And sentence fragments.

Going with Chrome, just DL'd. And whoa. So much faster. Also I think my screen resolution got wider... That's awesome.
