Anyone with this problem on DCUM?

[Anonymous]

I have to hit the back button several times before the page will go back. It doesn't happen on other websites, and it just started on DCUM in the last day or so.

No, my back button seems to be working fine. But the pages took a while to load last week.

Yup. I am having the same problem. Have to hit Back twice to go back.

Same here.

I haven't encountered this problem. Two of the three of you reporting the problem are using Internet Explorer 8. I won't be able to test with that until next week. The two of you should try with Firefox and see if you have the same problem. This may be limited to IE8. The other thing you can do is go to the Home page and click on the title of one of the blog articles. Then, hit back and see if you return to the home page properly. If so, that will narrow down the problem to the forums and make debugging easier.

18:49 here - to clarify, it happens on my office computer. I'm on the BlackBerry at the moment, where it doesn't happen.

Yes, that was my guess. I bet you have IE 8 at the office.

Seems to be forums only for me.

Uh, maybe. Probably. Sorry, I'm very low-tech!

Has been happening to me as well... on both my work computer (IE7), and at home (also (IE7)... only seemed to start happening in the past week or so....

PP here... seems to go back just fine (with one click) when I'm on the home page going to/from a blog article.... HTH

Okay, thanks. I've been testing new ad networks in the forums. I bet one of them has introduced some javascript that doesn't work well with IE. Unfortunately, I won't be able to debug it until Monday or Tuesday.

A lot of problems with DCUM lately -- including extremely long loading time at both work and home; back button not working; and when going to second page of a thread, the forum and the internet close altogether.

I am happy to announce that the back button in Internet Explorer once again works as expected. It appears that IE is overly-sensitive to javascript formatting. Or, at least more sensitive than other major web browsers. Despite the problems, I actually think IE is correct in being anal in this situation.

I'm so glad to see this - this was driving me crazy! And today, it's fixed.
