Back Button

[keithlbw]

My back button is working on everything except AB....Anyone else having this problem ?
( also posted on "How It Works" )

Is it 'there but just not working when you click it' or is it 'greyed-out and not able to be clicked'?

[ummmm]

Mines fine.

[NazNomad]

It's unlikely to be 'site related' ... More likely the 'Places Database' re:Firefox.

what's a back button?

You have a back button? Where do I find my own? Or is it the 'home' button?

[NazNomad]

Back/Forward buttons on your navigation toolbar, Dotty.

[ummmm]

The arrows Dotty..

[society]

OK I now realise what back button you referring to. It's on the browser....

[dotty.]

arrows? I didn't even see the Indians

Keith - many of us are having the problem. It is on AB only and seems to be related to the advertising banner at the top of the page - when it is showing a "The webpage cannot be found" error. Do you get a "Bad request" message at the top and the sides of the page when you attempt to use the back button?

No. I've just tried the back button because I forgot to sign in before I wrote a post, it works fine for me. I've never seen this Bad Request sign either!

[keithlbw]

No message at all ...it just wouldn't go back to previous page....I'm still not convinced it was me , because it was only happening on AB..

[johndeeby]

boxtops - I,m sure it is an AB problem because it does not happen on other sites. I have the problem with AOL browser but have now switched to IE and cannot replicate the problem. ???

[keithlbw]

I'm certain now that it is an AB fault.....I am getting either ...BAD REQUEST (REQUEST HEADER TOO LONG )...or ..THE WEBPAGE CANNOT BE FOUND..
.
These messages are on the page header..

[squarebear]

I get that at the top. It looks like it's an advert that doesn't display correctly.

Loads of people posting the same problem lately ...

Cookies for a site are usually sent in the request and they may be causing the request header to be oversized.

I know it's passé, but clear your AB cookies and then see if it does it.




.... ED ... STICKY POST MAYBE?
