back button

[dozer]

New Dell computer with XP.

When using MSN group forums, the back button will not
work. It only happens in msn forums. In any other
situation or forum, it works fine,.

When you say, "will not work," do you mean it doesn't do
what you expect, or nothing happens?

Nothing happens. It will not return to the previous
screen. If I click several times, it will back out of
msn to a previous site.

Very odd?

Most likely the page that is directly before the current
page was using a redirect, so when you 'back up' to it,
it simply forwards you instantly to the page you are on.
It would be fast, and possibly with no HTML code in the
page that would be rendered (only a script block), so
there would be no visible indication that there was a
page there at all. When you click your back button
multiple times, you are clicking fast enough that the
redirect page does not get a chance to load, and you
spring yourself out of the loop.
Try using that little down-arrow that is attached to your
Back button; find the URL you want to back up to (could
be 2 items or more down in the list) and click on that
one to back out 'gracefully'.

Nope, didn't work. I clicked on the first on the list
and it wouldn't go to it. When I opened the list again,
it was gone (I had backed up one)and clicked the next,
nothing. I then clicked the next, not msn, and it opened.
????????? Damn strange.

Cannot Navigate Back to Previous Web Page
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you are unable to navigate back to the
previous Web page when you click the Back button.
Internet Explorer loops endlessly between a Web page that you cannot open,
and a frameset Web page.
