Anyone else have to hit 'back' 3 times before it works?

I use the thumb buttons on my intellimouse explorer for back and forward. Well, here on AT, I have to press the back button 3 times before I actually go back to the previous page. I only started noticing this yesterday. It's not the mouse, as it works on the first click on every other website.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I was wondering what was up with this also because it seems to only happen on Anandtech.

Last night at another site--not here--I had to click twice to go back. Wierd.

Add: Logitech TrackMan Marble FX. W2K Pro, IE 6.0.26

If I Alt-LeftArrow there's no problem going back

Same problem here, it seems that they re-direct you twice (for the ads at the top and bottom of page?) before the page loads.

I don't have the problem here, but at some other sites.
Are you guys running any kind of pop-up killer, or have you modified your hosts list, or the Internet Security sites in Tools?

Look at the top and bottom of your browser screen while in the forums - the banners that are failing to load (they show instead "The page cannot be displayed") are what is messing up IE. Click the drop-down arrow beside your Back button and you'll see the link4ads.com site displayed twice - those are the banners. You have to click through those first to get back a page, hence the three clicks.

Forum Issues topic on the subject.

I guess the mods thought that General Hardware was a better place for this than Off Topic (where it was moved from)?
