Weird behaviour with "back" button in browser - anyone else?

446 replies

BertieBotts · 04/01/2018 21:45

Over the last few days I've noticed if I'm browsing Active, I'm On or a talk topic and click onto a thread from there, when I press back to return to the list of threads afterwards, it often seems to skip that page and go straight to whatever thread I was reading before that, which is very odd. It doesn't happen every time, but enough for me to notice. I have thought maybe I've clicked back twice by mistake and gone forward again, but it's like the interim page is just deleted from my history as though I never visited it at all.

Is anyone else getting this? It's really strange and disorientating.

I'm on Chrome on Windows 10 on a desktop.

Still happening, we can't be the only ones. Is it a cookies problem?

Nobrain · 07/01/2018 09:18

I thought it was just me too! It's been happening for a couple of weeks on chrome mobile (galaxy s6 latest version of chrome)

Me too. I'm on iPhone/Safari.

And me on my phone. And the photo thing for ages too.

@MNHQ Help?

Going to report this thread to see if anyone can help.

I thought this was my phone! I’ve tried everything I can think of to stop it doing it and it still does!! Mine can skip as many as two or three pages, taking me back to a thread I was looking at ages ago or even the page I was on before mumsnet despite having looked through more than one thread/page on here!!

Soubriquet · 07/01/2018 08:14

Yes...thought it was just me

Thurlow · 07/01/2018 08:09

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 06/01/2018 15:54

Yes me, chrome on Android phone. I assumed my phone was playing up, but it's only on this website.

MinisWin · 06/01/2018 15:53

And me, on an iphone 7. It's doing my head in.

Same here, using Chrome on mobile site, happens when using site on my tablet as well. Thought it was just me.

Roomba · 04/01/2018 22:31

I've also had this on the mobile site, Android phone (and my bookmark button and capability still hasn't reappeared after vanishing months ago despite multiple reports!).

IHaveACuntingPlan · 04/01/2018 22:17

Me too - I read a thread, click 'back' to return to active convos and end up back on my google homepage. I thought it was my phone. I'm on the mobile site using chrome on my Android phone.
