Default "Back" Button

Lately, I've been unable to use my computers' "Back" button on this site. Seems to only be this site I have this problem with. If I wait 10 or 12 seconds, then sometimes I can, but it's a 50-50 proposition. "ALT+rightarrow" doesn't work either. Then I need to go back to my "Favorites" list and click on my bookmark just to get back to the main menu of threads & topics.

Is it just me, or is there some conspiracy going on here?

This has been going on with me for over a month. At first I thought the buttons were sticking but as 480 said it is only this site?

working fine for me guys.


Maybe it's the operator

One thing I do when visiting forums is;

when wanting to view a thread, I right click and then "open in new window". This way, I do not have to go back to the main forum and such. It is faster for me and I can open and read multiple threads or search in another part of the forum without closing the thread I was dealing with.

Back, not Black. I don't own Arlington.

CTRL - T gives me my 'net settings.
