Often unable to "Go Back"

[FDibbins]

Using IE9, I often have the problem of not being able to "go back", either using the "go back" arrow, or with the "back" key. Repeated clicking/pushing does nothing, no little wheel turning in the tab name, nothing. Like, if I click on a thread to see it, but then want to go back, I often have to click "Search new Posts" to get back...most frustrating.

It does not happen on other forums (or other sites) I go to, just this 1.

Does anyone else have this problem, or does anyone know what might be causing this

Perhaps along the same lines, I often lose the cursor when I'm typing or editing, so if I want to go back and edit something, I cant see where the cursor is until I type something

Hey Ford

Have you tried setting IE to use compatibility mode for this site?

cursor hiding can be the result of mice software, Logitech used to offer that ability as a feature.

IE11 is now out

Rory, I think it is already set at that (it's at work that it happens, and I am off for the next 3 days) - will check when I get back. It happens on 4 different pc's that I work on, all set up the same.

Mole, it's a company PC, no option to update/upgrade/change, if I could change, I would switch to Chrome lol Thanks for the suggestion though

I hear that, my firefox is not allowed, but on a serious note, the security patches MS release should mean the latest browser

I think they are running 10

We are running IE9, and no way I can change that

May sound dumb, never had to use that before - where is that setting?

I'm using Edge, so that's gone, but if you look to the right of the address bar, you'll see a book-type icon with a horizontal split. Click it and you'll be in compatibility mode.

Smitty, thanks for the reply. I could not find that icon. I did, however, look under settings again, and found that option - added the forum to it Will see how things go...I regularly work on any 1 of 5 different PC's here, so I will add that to each of them
