Back button?

Mine isn't working, but only on DU. Anyone else having that particular quirk?

I saw a message that there was a problem. DU was loading slowly for me on yesterday, too.

IE: 10.0.9200

I'll bet that you and Bill Gates are the last two people using IE.

And I'm not sure about Gates.

Yes, I do. When I read DU with Internet Explorer, I have to click the back button THREE times to move back one page. I started watching the status bar. It's the Google page ads that do something weird in IE. Try using the back button's dropdown selector instead of just clicking back. If you're using IE9, right-click on back to select the page.

with the same URL, making Back (or selecting from the dropdown) useless.

Must be a javascript "feature".
