Help with Forum "page back"
-
When I "page back" from a subject in a Forum with my IE button. The Forum is often "expired" and I must repeatedly "page back" until I find a Forum page that displays. Do I have a bad setting somewhere?
-
What do you mean by "expired"?
-
Say I select the ruby forum, then I select a subject, when I use the IE "page back" I get a system (IE) message that the previous page has expired. I can not return to the ruby forum page without going all the way back to the page I started from. If its only me, then maybe something with my IE setup?
-
Hm. That's weird. What happens if you refresh on that page?
-
Same message.
-
Hm. I don't know what's happening. Do you use other browsers as well?
-
No.
-
Could you try a different one (like Firefox for instance) and tell what's happening?
-
Hmm......! Rather not, I'll live with it. Just got to remember to open the subject "in a new tab", or use the links under the forum name. Thanx anyway. Out of curiosity, are most of the users here on Macs?
-
Once we ran a poll and about 25% of the members were on Mac.
And I'm sorry for this glitch - no-one has ever reported anything like this.

I am curious as to why not? Firefox even has a plugin here that allows you to switch to the IE engine for web pages.
If it wasn't for Firefox no-one would have IE7, Microsoft does care a fig about the user or "innovation", just market dominance. IE got 95% of the market share so MS disbanded the IE team, then Firefox started advancing and giving user what they wanted, like Tabs. Abbra cadabra ala cazam, MS reformed the IE team and they "innovated" tabbed browsing.
Unlike FF, IE7 is not designed for plugins or additions, so any skinning or modding will effect the stability of your entire machine.

Gaieus,
Ofthen I face the same 'problem' where I just have to 'page back' to see SCF again, as described above.

Hi Wodan,
Thanks for the feedback. It is even more curious then since the server is also located in the Netherlands so it shouldn't be the internet connection between it and you.

I find it easier to work around stuff that will be around forever (at least until I kick the bucket).
So you only have 4-5 years left?
I am so sorry, what have you got? Can't they treat it? There are medical happening advances happening all the time so don't give up the fight!!!!
-
Hmmm......!
-
honoluludesktop did you ever get a fix for this problem.
I to have the same issue and have been putting up with as I thought it was how it's meant to be!
Once I go into a topic I can't go back using IE back button. I have to go right back to the original forum and and search again.
Thanks,

Hi folks.
I also have this problem for so long that I don't bother anymore. I just use the possibility to jump back a few pages when I keep the "Previous page" button down for a few seconds.
However, I find it a nuisance.
This is on PC with Windows XP-Pro SP3 and IE 8. This is on my machine at the office. Maybe Internet security and/or firewall are at play here. I don't know.
See the attached screen dump (in French).
Best regards.

HI all,
For what it is worth since no one seems to have the same problem or answer.
I now right click the thread and open in a new tab/window. Although not ideal it stops the need to go all the way back to the start.
-
If you use this method, you can also click on the link with your middle mouse button (the scroll wheel - just like the Orbit tool in SU) and by default, it will open the link in a new tab both in Firefox and in IE 7+

Hi faithfull, I took the drastic step of erasing all cookies on my system, then re-registered with SUCF. If you elect to do this, make sure that you have the passwords, etc. for all Internet accounts as you will have to re-register everywhere.
