"Back" Button

dpg · 06-24-2010, 10:53 AM

Whenever I'm navigating through this web site lately (maybe the last month or so) I need to click on the back button twice for it to work. Isn't my computer as I do not need to do it anywhere else but here. How come, any ideas?

Works fine for me....

As this site puts a heavy load on the mouse to "surf" all these topics, it could be just the mouse and not "the computer".

To eliminate the possibility that your mouse is fatigued, try using the "keyboard instruction" instead ... Alt + left arrow.

That is, Alt and ← simultaneously.

(For some reason, my keyboard insists that "Alt" be depressed before tapping the arrow key).

I've not noticed that here @ winni.com though I have seen it on other sites* dues to multiple adds, etc, loading. You have to hit the back button multiple times to get back to original site. Not sure why or how it would be happening for you here other than you've got some malware, redirecting the adds that are supposed to be displayed, to some other adds. Try a scan with the free version of Malwarebytes.

*DailyTech is the worst for this type of behavior. It may take 4 or 5 clicks to get back to the home page.

or do you use an opticle/with battery?... Also recheck your mouse settings, make sure that its on single click...

Hope this helps

Thanks all - I do use a wireless mouse. Update - this is the first time in maybe 8-10 days I've been on the site and now I can click "back" once again and it works...Weird...Hasn't done that for months.
