Have to hit back key twice?

When browsing the forums (for example, looking at the Posts Since Last Visits view), when I cick on a topic to view it will bring up the web page with the topic thread. When I hit the back key to go back to the Posts Since Last Visit view, I have to hit the back key twice to get it to go back. I have seen this on multiple computers, using Windows XP and IE.

Anyone else experience this and know why it happens? Not a big deal, but it would save a click!

I think I see what it is. There is the Ads By Google section in between the first post and the replies. When you first go to that you can see the window for the Ads, and right behind it you will see some black text. When you hit back the first time, the black text behind that red window goes away, then you hit back again and you move on.

So I'm thinking it has something to do with those Google ads, maybe there is some extra code in there.

Who manages that?

 

Here is a shot of what I am seeing. Before you hit the back key the first time, look real closely behind the ad image, you'll see some text. I have not tried it with FireFox yet to see if you see that or not, it's probably a Windows thing.....

 

So I loaded up Firefox on this computer, problem doesn't exist there, so it's something that is turned on in IE that is not in Firefox which makes this apparent. I think it has something to do with the Google Ad code. I thought it was a Java issue, loaded up Sun Java as well to see if that made a difference, no luck. Tried messing with the security settings as well.

When I right click just above the ad where it looks like you can see the error, I go to the properties and see this reference:

I have no idea what this means :blink:

Anyone have an ideas? I was going to PM Danny and point him to this thread to see if he knows.

I'm assuming there are some other sites using those ads, might be interesting to see if the problem exists there too? Maybe it's a combination of how it is used with the board software? I wouldn't think that Google ad's would have this problem as a whole with IE, too big of an install base to piss off....

 

I see that PriusOnline uses the same Google ads, but they do not have this issue. Danny, any chance there is something up with the way the code is inserted into this site?

 

Confirming here, one click now. Something changed. If you look at the Google ad, that text that was behind it is gone.
