Back button

[Pudsky]

When using Scubaboard.com and I click the "back" button, I have to click it three times for it to work, every time. It is the same if I use the Internet explorer button at the top left of my screen, Or if I use Ctrl+back arrow. There is not another website that I can think of that I have to click the "back" button more than once to go back one page. It is extremly annoying.

Please advise if I am doing something wrong or if there is a setting or something I can change.

Thanks, Pudsky

What Browser (and version) are you using? What Operating System?

 

[Pudsky]

Windows Internet Explorer 9 for browser, and Windows Vista for operating system.

Well... First.

The keystroke combination to go "back" is "ALT+Left Arrow"

Second. While I'll try to help you... This is NOT a ScubaBoard problem. This is definitely an Internet Explorer issue.

A Quick Google of your problem produces tons of results. This one sounds reasonable from looking at several possible solutions to your problem... I'd give this a shot.

HowardE, thanks for the suggestions. I reset my IE9 settings and seems like all is well again. One click to "go-back" one page. Don't know what setting would have been changed to effect the "back" function, but I guess sometimes stuff happens.
