Have to hit 'back button' three times in safari on ipad.

[anonymous-user]

Bit weird....
Over the last couple of days, Safari on my iPad won't go "back" using the back button at the top left.
Simply seems to refresh/reload the page it's on, and takes several (up to four!) attempts to go back to the previous page.
Happens across all sites.
Tried the usual turn-it-off-then-turn-it-back-on-again, clearing the history and stopping all non-essential apps.....
Still doing it.

Anyone?

You're not alone, mine's just started doing that too.

At least I know it's not just me then. Thanks, I feel better already

Sounds like a device-wide problem then

Ditto. I'm on wifi at Porsche experience silver stone and assumed it was down to the complimentary secure wifi.


How bizarre.

How can this suddenly happen to devices?

Happens on my home wireless, work wireless and 3G.
(nice bit of name dropping by the way. Is Neil H demo driving today? If so, say hi)

Me too. Takes two or more presses of the back button to take effect.

Bizarre.

Started yesterday some time. Ipad 2 here.

Gets weirder......
Only seems to affect forum-type websites.
Is it that blasted Google ad rubbish reloading the same page with the "old" adverts thus thinking it's the genuine previous page?

Add me to the list, on my iPad, seems to be worse on PH

[TheThing]

Me too. Page wont go back. Press the back button and it just goes to the top of the page.

[DoctorX]

Yep me too

[ali_kat]

here too! Just cleaned the screen in case there was a mark affecting it!

If you only tried turning it on and off in the normal way, try holding the home and power button at the same time (for around 10 seconds) untill the devise reboots

Ditto. Or +1 or "this" or whatever we're using this week.

[Theadamh1234]

What sites are doing this?

[Digger]

Only PH for me, but need to experiment.

[anonymous-user]

So far, just fora for me - PH and a Triumph bikey one I use. It's very obviously a forum site thing.

Try going into settings>>> Safari>>> Clear Cookies and Data...

Im just trying it at the moment.
