    Is it just me?

    It usually takes 3 clicks of the back button to get the page to change. It doesn't do this on any other site I'm on, but it's routine here.

    What could be up with that?

    I was using IE 9 , but it just updated to IE 10, still does it.

    Just tested it in IE 10. Took 3 tries on the back button.

    Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari all on desktop/laptop work fine.

    Safari and Chrome on iPad and iPad Mini work fine.

    I tried setting IE 10 to Compatibility mode, did not help.

    This is a browser specific issue for this site. It's issues such as this that is costing MS in the browser wars. They used to have the market in hand, now, not so much. See Browser Statistics

    Might I suggest a migration to Chrome.

    BTW, on a Windows 7 x64 machine Safari 5.1.7 renders pages the quickest.

    Nathan's favorite ^.

    Or maybe my fave, Firefox. Don't ask me why Firefox instead of Chrome. For me it's sort of like why I prefer one wine to another, sometimes the answer is purely subjective, as in "I like what I like."

    But either is an UPgrade from IE.

    It doesn't bother me particularly, I was just curious why it only does it on this site, and not other Vbulletin sites I frequent......

    But it works way better here than it does on that NAMeless site! :biggrin5:

    I have a completely different set of problems there, but we don't need to go into that.

    Thanks for checking it out Nathan, nice to know I'm not nuts.

    I also still have that curious thing where the front page loads huge, then when I click on "New Posts" or any other page it loads normally.....weird.

    Edit: curiouser and curiouser......now it's working perfectly, one click, just like it used to!

    :cornut: I have not even a clue what you geeks are talking about. I did understand the 3 clicks part but nothing after that. I remember when I first got Windows 7, the videos on here wouldn't play, only snow. I asked Nathan about it and like magic they started playing clearly. Oh well, onward through the fog.......................:Thumbsup:
