My site sometimes doesn't accept the back button (6 posts)

    I am not sure if this is even the right place to ask, but sometimes my site http://www.gluesky.com/ does not let me hit the back button to get off my page. For example if I go to yahoo.com then to my site and hit the back button to get back to yahoo my site just reloads. It's a pet peeve I just hate on other sites so I don't want my site to do it too.

    It is not consistent. On my husbands computer it doesn't do this. Thoughts?

    Hit the back button twice, this usually works for me!

    This often happens when the previous page was a redirect.

    For example, if you are clicking a link from an email on yahoo to go to your site, often times yahoo will send you to a page on their domain, which redirects you to the URL of the link you clicked on.

    There are various reasons to do this, most notably the lack of referral information when you visit the link.

    Therefor when you hit the back button, you return to the previous page, which was a redirect to your current page, and the current page loads in your browser. Often this happens quite fast which is why it looks like you are hitting back and just ending up at your site again.
