It it just my PC or is the "Back to" ( blue circle with white arrow at the top left ) function not working correctly on this forum? Is it just me... Icon_sad

It doesn't do it on any other site I visit. Is it just me... Icon_scratch

that is part of your browser, not part of the site. So it has nothing to do with the site

When you say it doesn't function correctly, what exactly happens? Does it just sit there doing nothing? Is the button "grayed" out or does it actually let you click it?

After I log in, I always go to the "view posts since last visit" page.
From there I go into a thread.
When I want to go back to the "view posts since last visit" page, I click on the "Back to" icon and the screen "blips" for a second and displays the same page.
When I double click on the "Back to" icon, it takes me past the "view posts since last visit" page and all the way to the "home" page.

I don't see a "back to" button on this site.

He is referring to the Back button on your browser. From his explanation it sounds like he is using Internet Explorer

Just tested my IE browser. Works fine.

Yeah- I use Firefox, but when I read his original post yesterday I loaded up my IE and checked. It worked fine.

My bet is that you have some Spyware that got in to your system. The spyware is secretly sending your browser thru a different site (to rack up hits for the site) before hitting the right site. When you attempt to "back", and is going "back" to that site again which is then re-directing you back to here again.

You need to make sure your spyware/adware software has the latest definitions, and then do a complete scan of your computer.

Thanks, I'll try that.
