Fixed Back button jump around

[thorborg]

The page back arrow at upper left of my screen will not work reliably while perusing this forum.
Does not seem to happen as much while checking out the classifieds but in opening up a " New threads" post to read then going back to the home page it refuses to cooperate.
Could be slow to recoup with me being impatient or a forum related wacko mess but whatever the reason it is relatively new and definitely irritating.
Sometimes, out of inpatients and frustration I will make multiple clicks like I am sending Morris code before anything happens. and then hope it only goes back one page not several.
This happens at work and at home so it do not believe it to be computer related.

Does this happen to anyone else? Or am I just the lucky one.

Yes has been happening to me as well. Try using the refresh and then clicking the back button.

I think it may be associated with the server upgrade work (Joe fiddling around) that will happen tonight.

Thanks for the heads up guys. If it's still happening tomorrow I'll ask for some specifics and see if we can figure it out

Choosing links and getting to them is smooth but once there and going back to forum the screens jump all over the place before finally ending up at the bottom of the page. Is the webmaster able to get a back button selection to go back where last visited directly such as straight to classifieds if that was the origin of the link chose?

 

[Joe Link]

Hmm, first report of this.

Is this on your desktop/laptop? Which browser are you using?

 

[Shellsters]

iPad, safari. Always been this way on here, no other sites, also does it if on any page and going to forum. Took a vid of it but trouble trying to load it here. Could send in email if you like.

 

[Joe Link]

Sounds good, I'll PM you.

I am having trouble with the back button also. It does not work most of the time for me. I have to just reload the whole website as nothing works. This is on one of my laptops using windows 10 and the web browser associated with it.

I'm using safari on my iPad and use the drop down menu, hit new content and it bounces around randomly 12 times and lands at the bottom of the home page..

I just had the same thing happen as Velzey. "I am also using Safari."

 

[Joe Link]

Wow, I'll definitely figure out what's going on and get this fixed.

Just to confirm, Microsoft Edge for the browser (with the blue E icon)?

Which versions of iPad are you guys using?

There appears several issues concerning Safari with the back button, not isolated to site specific. I think more work for Joe to try to track.

Sounds to be browser IOS specific.

Here's the most recent I found in mention of the issue.

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at those. It'd odd that it's never happened on mine (iPad Air), but that doesn't actually mean anything

Yes, Edge is what it is. I could not remember what it was last night as I was in a different device and was too lazy to get out of bed and go check.

 

[Velzey]

iPad 4 mini and it does it with Safari and chrome.

 

[Joe Link]

I've tried for hours to get reproduce this issue without luck, so I'm going to need some help. Can you guys try doing a hard shutdown on your iPads and see if it changes?

Hold the home button and the power button on the upper right edge down till you get the sliding bar. Leave it off for about 30 seconds or so. Turn it on and try again

 

[Velzey]

I figured it out, mine only does the jump around if I have multiple nwfa pages open at once. Close the other pages and poof it stops!

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Back button not working on my Windows 10 PC running Microsoft Edge Browser. If I "double tap" the back button it will sometimes go back to previous page or sometimes two pages back.

Thanks for looking into it!

I was able to confirm this. I think it's unrelated, but I'm looking into it as well.
