For clicking back/forward several pages without having to click on the back/forward button multiple times.

So say you follow a link to something and then you click through a few pages on a website, nosey about a bit and then want to go back to the original page you were on, you'd have to click back several times. But with the drop down box you can go straight to where you want.

There's a back button that looks like this:

And then a little arrow pointing down next to the forward button. That drop down box.

Started a thread a week ago.

I've started a thread already.

It's only some threads. It's something to do with an advert. If you click in the drop down box next to the back button, it'll say something like

HTTP Not Found
www.mumsnet.com/doubleclick/DART

It's like a black hole.

They're aware of it. Not sure if they're fixing it.
