Default Return page, back button, not working

For the past few days the back button doesn't work on TOTV. This happened last year then quit. Any help?

I too am having issues with the return arrow key. When I select a topic from the Forum page to read and then try to go back to the Forum using the arrow key in the top left hand corner, it doesn't work. I have to use the New Posts to get back to the Forum which takes me to page 1 of the Forum instead of the page I was on. Admin - please fix. Thank you.

I have had the same problem for 3 days. Also the tab on the top keeps flickering.

Admin should be aware of the problem and work to fix it.

Add me to the list of those having problems with the back button. Very annoying to have to refresh the entire list of New Posts if you want to look at any of the threads. Please fix ASAP!

Try to go to Internet Tools and add the TOTV site to the Compatibility view.

Thanks quirky 3.....adding TOTV to the Compaitbility view has allowed the back button to function once again but the refresh rate for the screen is so slow that it cannot keep up with even my slow typing. Any suggestions to fix this? FWIW this happens on IE 11.

No back-arrow problem here. But I hate IE and use mostly Firefox or Chrome.

I use IE as my default but also Firefox on some sites that do not like IE. Have logged into TOTV using both this morning and the same problems continue with either.

If your computer is like mine, if your back button doesn't work, look (directly) next to your back button and there should be a little arrow pointing down. Click that little arrow and it will take you back to the page you were on.

For instance, on my computer, if I click on that little arrow, it will show that I tried to use the back button once, then I tried to use it again, then it will show what page I was on...so, all I have to do is click on that and it will take me back to that page. (It's like a little history of what pages you were on).

If you "right-click" on the back arrow, it should also show the drop-down list of where you've been lately.

OK, I thought I was going crazy, I have been having the same problems also. Will try the compatibility setting in IE11, however, I have recently seen the same problem with Google, so this may be bigger then just TOTV. Everybody look to the west, bow and keep repeating "Thank you Bill, Thank you BIll,......."

Google Chrome browser is fully functional - no issues. Jimmie
