What are you doing to my back button?
Discussion
Something very annoying happening quite frequently. I read a single page on a thread, and it takes several - usually about 5 - clicks of the back button to go back to the page I was on previously - usually my 'My Stuff' page.
It's as if something on the page is causing additional back entries. Looking at firebug, I wonder if it may be something to do with a call to timing.projectsunblock.com but not certain.
Screenshot below shows the Costco thread in the lounge. Clicking to read the last page only from my 'My Stuff' page has resulted in an annoying 5 entries in the history, which means 5 clicks of the back button to get back. Another thread where it happens a lot is the Random Photos thread in the Photography and Video forum.
And before anyone says it - Yes I could just click the 'My stuff' link to go back, but I instinctively go for the back button and shouldn't have to change browsing habits for one web site.
ETA: Just clicked on the random photos thread with Firebug open, and the page kept making requests to timing.projectsunblock.com (GET timing?key=......pistonheads.com) and every time it did, another history entry would appear, so looks like that is the culprit. It's bloody annoying.
