Default Back button issues

I'm having trouble with the back button, when I post tonight?

It works fine if I just look at a post, but if I reply, it will not let me out of the post. To get back to the Forum Section I was in, I have to go to the top of the page, and clip on Forums, the group and the subgroup, and then it returns me to the Section.

I had no trouble returning to the Help Section, after posting the above question, but posts I made in both the C1/C2 and the C3 Section, just minutes ago, I couldn't get out of.

On a fairly regular basis, forum advertisers create crappy advertisements that basically loop through themselves to create a seemingly unending list of URLs.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/help...e-is-back.html

The problem you likely are having, is that hitting the back button takes you to the most recent URL in the web browser history, but because one of these awful ads suck so much, the most recent URL in the web browser history is the same URL you are already on. Hence the appearance that you are stuck in an infinite loop where you can only return to where you already are.

It's the internet equivalent of a recurring nightmare.
