This is weird - so weird, I'm reluctant to say it's the fault of the new forum, but I can't see any other explanation.

When I enter a forum I can go back to the main page, as normal, by clicking the browser's 'back' button. But once I'm in a thread, this doesn't work any more. At first I thought it was a problem local to me, but I have tested this extensively in other forums - DAZ, RDNA, and Cornucopia, to name but three. There, the back button works as it always has. In this forum, it doesn't.

The marketplace and the front pages work just fine, so it must be something to do with the forum software. I've tried IE6 and that works OK; but I normally use Mozilla 1.7.7. I can see the back button highlighting as I mouse over it, but there's no effect when clicking, on it, and the Backspace button on the keyboard doesn't send me back either.

If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with the fancy new text editor that's just been added, because everything was fine yesterday. Please fix this as soon as possible - it makes the forums unusable to me.

I'm having no problems in Safari, Firefox, or IE. Back button works just great.

I don't know?

It's working in IE and Firefox for me..............

Yes, thanks, but as I say I'm using Mozilla 1.7.7 - not IE or FF. IE does work as expected (I'm using it now, yuck).

Are there any other Mozilla users out there - or Nicholas, could you possibly try Moz and see what happens? If it's just me, I'll have to fix it somehow (but why this has happened I sure don't know...).

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.12 ---- and am having the same problem.

Enter a thread, read stuff, hit back ... and nothing. No response whatsoever. The "working" indicator in top right doesn't change, no "waiting for/reading from" ... in the status line.

The only way I can get back to the forum is to go through the drop-down history , clicking each one in succession til one works..

And, yes, it was working yesterday...

It is happening for me as well. Mac Firefox. Just happened today ...

Actually, it gets wierder than that. I just tried to get back after my previous post, and the 1st one that responded  showed me this thread with an empty space in place of my post . All it had was "Reply"  and a blank post (NOT a reply box, an actual post, as if I'd been thrown into a temporary, server-only  version of the thread).

When I slowly backed out of that,  the next that became available was this forum. Except that the top few threads were missing (including this one). Actually, it might have been there but not marked as "new". I didn't check that. I sort by "latest reply".

Oh, and I'd cleared my browser cache when I 1st noticed the problem (left 'rosity, closed Mozilla, restarted Mozilla, cleared cache, re-entered 'rosity.

The problem seem to be unique within threads....

Phew! Glad it isn't just me (and I tried FF as well, and got the same problem). I have gone through numerous other forums on the net now, and this definitely seems to be a Rendo-specific problem. I guess there aren't that many Mozilla users around or there would have been a lot more noise by now

(Later) yes, I've had the empty 'Reply' box on hitting back as well, but only once so far.

And I've just found out, that to get back to the forum, you (well, I) have to go to the seventh down in the "Back" drop-down list  (seems consistent)...

(Wonder what the other 6 are??)

'course, it might be different if I don't post...

Where'd all those extra pages come from?????

I also am having problems w/ the 'back' button (Mac Mozilla, and Safari).

There's a common theme emerging here - the latest revision of the forum software is problematic with Mozilla, both on Mac and PC. I'm sure Nicholas is monitoring this thread, so hopefully we may see a fix soon.

Updates:

1. The problem also occurs when using "My Options"....
2. It 's not totally consistent in all threads. Occasionally I've been able to "back out" of a thread just by hitting the back button.  But  not often enough to detect a pattern.
3. The "7 down" in the "back-button drop-down" does seem to be consistent (which at least enables me to use a sort-of workaround)....tiresome 'tho.

PS: and have we lost HTML  italics??? and can now only use the italics from the toolbox??

Yeah, back button in FF screwed for me, too. PC/Windows XP.
And I just had a total crash of FF when using my mouse wheel to scroll down before a page finished loading all the ...whatever it's loading...

"....before a page finished loading all the ...whatever it's loading..."

Probably all those Yellow Stars & other gifs (I hope they're gifs, not jpegs..)

Until this gets sorted, clear your browser cache and internet temp files on a very regular basis (you'd be surprised at how much HD room you'll clear up..)

Cheers,
Diolma

This is causing much more trouble for others, see attached link.

Edit to add :
It's an editor bug. The default sample show this problem.

Just enteringto say that the backbutton doesn't work  in Firefox on SuSe Linux either.

I'm currently exiled to hubby's PC (my own is tied up with a render) and I found this problem here. It's annoying.

The actual replybox seems ok though.No buttons missing,on the contrary it has more visible buttons than my own (I can't see anything right of the Ordered List button there but here I see a bulleted list and two link buttons as well.

Hmmmmm

nruddock, thanks for that info - very interesting. ISTM that Rendo should junk this new editor immediately, until such time as they get it working properly. Because right now the only browser this forum supports fully is IE6. It seems as if Gecko-based browsers are all problematic.

Alternatively there might be a fix on the Mozilla side, but I haven't started to poke around in the chrome yet.

According to that link, this editor is compatible with Mozilla, FF, etc. So I wonder if Rendo have broken it in some way, or was it never as compatible as is stated?

Possibily not, as the default sample that comes with the LGPL version is broken in the same way.

Yes, I just downloaded and installed it here, and the back button is dead on the default installation. Another reason to remove it for the time being.
