Google wont let me go backwards!!!

[apa]

Ever sincw the relaunch Ive had a problem with my BACK button.

I go to a topic then use the back button to go back to the unread list. With the new site I have had to press it 2 to 3 times before it will work. Then I noticed this pop up when I hover over the back button:


Back to [url="http://Googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/drt/s"]HTTP://Googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/drt/s[/url] (Alt+Left)

I believe its something used by google to track your browsing. Now Im not one to be bothered by who knows what Big Brother stuff but it is BLOODY ANNOYING when I try and navigate around BC. Im posting it here because it only happens on this site!!!

So WTFIGO

Apa,

It is damned annoying, I've also noticed it. But it happens on other sites as well; I don't know why some sites and not others.

There's little we can do about that I'm afraid - it's just aggressive advertising by Google using your browser.

So Im not alone tedgilley!! lol

I realised today that it only happenes on my laptop at home but not on the works computer. Ive not seen it anywere else. Im assuming then hamster that its not a particular BC issue just my bad luck its happening on here?

I didn't think it was a BC issue .. but isn't it nice to be 'helped' by Google!

I know lol I didnt think it was a BC issue as such. Its just that it only happens on BC for me.

The only quick fix is to use the 'open in new tab' for each thread read!

It would happen on any site where Google had that a particular type of ad running I suppose - not sure

We might be able to help by tweaking how the ads display here, but that's a little bit too past my techy comfort zone, so I'll ask someone who knows what they're doing!
