"Back" button not working in the forums???

This just started happening to me, and it isn't happening on any other sites. I cannot use the "back" feature of my browser on Anandtech right now. Anybody else having this problem?
 
On the third back click it will finally go back. Click on the drop down arrow next to the back button. Thats that ads it has to go through.
 
Someone ( :::ahem::: admins :::ahem::: ) needs to address this problem to let us know what's up. It's annoying as heck - especially when you're using the Intellimouse Explorer and use the thumb forward and back buttons like I do. I started thinking that my mouse isn't working right before I realized that someone else was having the same problems. Funny thing is though, the ads don't even seem to be showing up on here. I just get the funny looking paper looking icon with the blue "i" in it saying "The page cannot be displayed." Hopefully this'll be worked on ASAP.

EDIT: It takes about 3 clicks before it finally does go back.
 
I have a sneaking assumption that the ads are filling up the cache.

It works fine for a while, then (part. if I have several Anand instance open), it just dies.

I suppose, this is what we have to call "suffering the advertisement" ... 🙁

Still not nice. 🙁
 
It is flakey but i suspect Zuni was trying add new features maybe it conflicted in his work and he doesn't know it yet.
 
Saw the same thing last night, and yes working fine now. Hold on boys and girls, ads are only going to find new and more exciting ways to irritate us as time goes on!

🙁

My Back button grays out after browsing the forums for awhile and I have to start over. Sounds like you guys still have the Back button but it just doesn't go back.
