Default Browser back button just stopped working on TOTV

This is a new happening. When I click the back button I do not return to the previous page. Multiple clicks may return to a previous page or may not return at all. Only happens on TOTV. And only the back button on TOTV, other clicks are working.
Using Internet Explorer.

I have had this issue for a long time, even posted about it on TOTV. If I rember, suggestions were: using a different browser, and selecting the previous page (history) from the bar where the URL is. I just fight with it...but it is worse recently I think.

I suspect it has to do with all the changing ads here. Other forums I frequent dont behave this way.

I don't know if you use Chrome. If you do you can hold the cursor down on the back button untill the history pops up. Then you can select the page you want to go back to. Works much better than the just clicking the back button.

This seems to be na issue with the latest version of Internet Explorer. You may not even know your browser was updated if you have updates set to automatically install. I saw the same behavior in the new IE 10 and downgraded back to IE 9 and have not had the same issues. I also use Google Chrome and the back button works fine.

Since I only encounter this problem on this site, I think it is a site problem. I wish they would fix it so I do not have to use this work around.

I do not think it should matter which browser I am using.
