Back button gone funny...

I'm using safari on an ipad and the last couple of days I need two presses of the back button to go back one page. Its only happening on MN, not on any other websites. Slightly irritating!

Thought it was just me! Agree very odd.

PseudoBadger · 07/09/2013 17:12

Me too!!

Oh this is also me on my phone - I thought I must have accidentally done something... Looking forward to a solution as its v. Irritating...

BeCool · 07/09/2013 17:16

Me too on MacBook. When I go back I just get blank page, it hangs, and I have to start all over. Just on mn. Q

Yes, me too! Also on Safari on an iMac. The first 'back' takes me to the top of the page, and the second to the previous page.

And me, I thought the IPad was wearing out! It's still doing it now.

Ooh, so glad I've seen this, another who was thinking my iPad was starting to play up!
Obviously don't spend much time on any other pages.
Maybe mumsnet has shares in Apple?

And me

Me too. I thought there was a problem with my iPad.

JosiePosiePuddingAndPie · 08/09/2013 00:01

Me too on iPhone. Noticed it last night

OliviaMMumsnet · 08/09/2013 08:52

Sorry about this - I have no idea because I dont have an iPad Envy
but I will find out from someone who does.

Liskey · 08/09/2013 08:53

I've just noticed this too and was finding it vaguely annoying.

LegArmpits · 08/09/2013 08:57

Oh I thought it was my iphone!

applebread · 08/09/2013 08:59

Me too on android

Bimblepops · 08/09/2013 09:02

Phew, I thought it was just my stupid phone breaking a little bit more! (Safari on an iPhone by the way)

EveryGoodBoyDeservesFun · 08/09/2013 09:26

Me too. On safari on MacBook!

PirateJelly · 08/09/2013 09:32

Mine does this too (iPhone) but the really weird thing is if the back button works in one go (about 50% of the time) it takes me back to an active convo page which is from months ago, Febuary I think Hmm its always the same page with the same very old active threads showing, which aren't active anymore obviously! Is it just me who gets this?

Strangely when it takes two presses it's ok and goes back to the actual current active convo's Confused

PirateJelly · 08/09/2013 09:39

Sorry I stand corrected it was Febuary before but I've just checked and now it's 'updated' itself somewot and is only going back to the 8th of July Hmm very annoying!

greenhill · 08/09/2013 09:48

Me too.

greenhill · 08/09/2013 09:49

Me too. I'm on safari on the iPad and not using the app.

Myliferocks · 08/09/2013 09:49

Me too!
Using safari on my iPad.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 08/09/2013 09:52

And me - Safari on iphone.

Glad it's not me doing it wrong!

RustyBear · 08/09/2013 09:56

Don't know if this helps, but if you look at the list of previously visited pages by holding down the back button, then in most cases each page visited is listed twice (not all, one visit to AC is only recorded once)- which presumably means that that the back button is working fine but each page is being delivered twice?

See screenshot here

That screen shot was from a new Safari session which started from a BBC news page as control, I only went to each page once and didn't include any pages I'd previously visited (except Active Convos, of course!)

By the way, are you going to make Site Stuff a pictures page? I did ask before and was told it was a good idea - it would be really helpful for stuff like this.
