I use Google Chrome most of the time and I, also, have noticed some hesitation on the back button in the last few days as well as some "blinking" of the TOTV icon on the tab. I blocked the ads and the problem stopped and the refresh rate became much faster.

Seems that if so many folks, including me, are having a problem with that back button it is a TOTV problem not an individual computer problem. Sure hope they can fix it sooner rather than later.

Admin - any feedback on this?

quirky3,

Thank you for the suggestion. Using the back button on TOTV stopped working for me a couple of days ago, but your suggestion seems to have solved the problem.

THANK YOU! That worked. The computer seems a little slow, but I do go backwards.

Indy, how do you block ads?

I'm on THE LIST also. Also seems that it is taking a longer time to bring up the selected threads.

Have folks having this issue done the above excellent suggestion? This would help explain where the back button is taking you. Once you see what is in that list, there are folks here that can help you... In fact some real suggestions are here:

See Post number 9 from 'Z' in this thread Does Anybody Know Why the back arrow does not work all of the time in a TOTV thread

Yes, it's frustrating...the back button stopped working about a week ago on TOTV on both Windows 7 and 8.1 computers for the first time in 6 years.

So far so good on reviving the back button by changing to the compatibility view. Site is still running very, very slow. From the time I click to read a thread until the screen refreshes including all banner ads it now takes as much as 30 to 45 seconds for the screen to completely refresh. Reminds me of the old days when I used the old AOL dial up modem connections. Even typing this message requires multiple pauses to allow the site to catch up on what I have typed. Not having this problem on any other websites. Someone definitely needs to look into this problem.

I checked the compatibility icon and my back button still does not work. I have to use the little down arrow next to the back button to see where I've been. Also have a delay in key strokes when trying to type this message. Very frustrating.

No problems of any type. Using Windows 7 and Firefox with Adblock Plus.
