Back button

[Thom Peterson]

Anybody else getting strange behavior when using the Back button on IE6? Sometimes when I enter a folder, look at an unread message and then go back, I loose all unread messages. If I go back in and read another, then go back, all is well.

One more reason to switch to Netscape.

I follow 6-8 forums. This is the only one that exibits the behavior.

I don't understand what IE6 is, but I'm not having any problems with anything.

"IE6" means Microsoft (c) Internet Explorer, version 6.

Re: Back button

I'm experiencing many of the same problems with IE6 but I think it's because I'm running Windows XP on my new computer. I didn't have these problems with my other computer running Windows 98. Some people tell me that XP is not backwards compatable with many programs. I don't know whether that applies here or not.

You can try to go to the Microsoft site and find a fix but PACK A LUNCH......... you'll be there a while.

Re: Back button

Thom, I get the same thing, and only on this forum. I run IE6 and XP. It didn't used to do this, and I haven't hacked it out yet.

Re: Back button

Like anything else, it won't do it now.
Thom, what is your COOKIES setting in your browser? That might be the problem.

Re: Back button

My settings do accept cookies. I am Beta testing Windows 2000 SP4, that might have something to do with it. But I am still not having problems on other forums?

Thom: Just for giggles, why don't you try doing a "cookie reset". 1.) Scroll up to top of this page and go to/click on "My Profile". 2.) Go to/click on "Delete All Cookies Set By This Site." 3.) Logoff from forum. 4.)Log back on, making sure you "accept all cookies" prompt(s).
