Forum:Clicking ''back''

I have found that when using wikia on firefox if I click Back, it will just reload the page and I have to click it about 3 times before it will load the previous page. I tried it on internet explorer and I did not have the problem. Is anyone else getting this and does anyone know what the problem might be?

 * I have this problem as well. Come to think of it, it does only happens on Wikia. Could be a bug... ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 10:40, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've never experienced this. I'm using FF 3.6.8 Duskey ( talk ) 12:00, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * FF 3.6.8 here, never experienced it (although I hardly ever press the actual button, I either use my mouse gestures or middle click it to open it in a new tab). Next time you experience it, press the down arrow near the "back" button, and see if the same page is there more than once -- Random Time  12:03, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I haven't experienced this, but this could happen on pages that have frames. Maybe when there are ads on the page, or when using the Rich Text Editor. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:25, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * This might happen with redirects, or when you're editing and have made several previews. -- ◄mendel► 21:02, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * It has happened on the main page of Wookiepedia as well. I checked the history and there was only one link to the page, not multiple. I didn't edit it at all either, or try to. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 22:01, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Could it be because you've clicked a few bookmarks in the article? Duskey ( talk ) 23:02, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * No. It just happens randomly. There is no specific pages either. Talk pages, the main page, articles... etc. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 07:16, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it may have something to do with the ads. I noticed the other day, that the back button didn't go back a page, but the ad changed and the volume was back on. I hate the video ads! Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  08:02, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Special:Contact all instance of sound ads, they NOT menat to be there or so I have been assured when they shown up on my wiki. but view source first to get the add link so they can get rid of it quicker. -- 13:33, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm having this problem too. When I hit back it just reloads the ads. I have to smack it a few times in quick succession to get it to work. (FF 3.6.8) -- Fenyx4 16:21, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * The thing is, it happens to me on pages without ads as well. Just any page. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 16:51, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Spotlights use iframes too :(
 * In that case I would suggest Special:Contact. Duskey ( talk ) 16:54, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Being worked on
Hey everybody. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and helping each other to try and figure it out. We've also received a number of Special:Contact reports about this. It does seem to be something to do with ads, last I heard. If it hasn't already been fixed (not sure if they've done so yet), then the tech team is working on it. It's happening to us too sometimes, so it frustrates us too! Thanks for your patience, and if you encounter any other problems be sure to let us know. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:29, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
