Are page loads still not working along with the back button? What ad appears to be slowing things down? Is it at the top of the page or the bottom?

Sorry I can't be more helpful Packy, but my Back button on Safari almost always takes me back to the previous page I'd visited before HTF. No matter how much I surf around HTF, it usually doesn't take me back to the previous HTF page I've been to, it takes me back to the last non-HTF page. Really odd behavior which I don't think is tied to an ad because I've gone multiple pages deep into HTF with different ads, and Back still takes me out of HTF.


EDIT to add:
What's really odd is after I posted (using quick post) when I hit back it takes me back to the previous HTF page properly, but then hitting back again takes me out of HTF (and I know I've navigated 8-9 pages around HTF).

Same here with the Back button issue. PowerBook G4, Safari 3.0.3. No matter how deep I go into HTF, one click of the back button kicks me back to wherever I was before entering HTF. Even the Safari History menu will only show one HTF page in the history, no matter how many pages deep I go. Weird.

I really don't know what could be doing this. If there is a particular thing that you notice that isn't loading let me know.

i cant tell what isnt loading.

what i can tell is that the blue bar fully finishes in the address bar, indicating the page is done loading.
but the tab indicating were you are has a spinny thing that never stops spinning.

also i just nioticed, the last 2 post i tried to add, including report a bad post went through but stayed on the page were the post the message was and the report a post was.
it never loaded into the page with the new post.

I have been having issues the last few days with the site's pages not loading. All I get is the top "HTF" graphic and one ad in the top right. Nothing else on the page displays. It says "done" in the bottom left corner of the browser. This is happening both at work and at home. If I hit stop, then reload, I can get the page to fully display sometimes.

This problem is not all the time. It sometimes (like now) seems to work ok. But then when traffic is high (lunchtime, primetime) it gets real bad.

It seems like one of the image links is not working and the browser is waiting for something before it displays.

I am using IE 7.

Also, for the record, I get the same sort of thing happening at another site. It is the Weather Underground site. WeatherUnderground

Maybe they are using one of the same ad sites. It might help you figure out which one is is causing the problem if you compare it to yours. Both sites are working fine right now, but I have seen the issue on both sites. In fact, on both that site and this site it happens right after the top 2 images are displayed.

Pages still appear to be not loading completely in Safari. I don't get the little spinny thing in the upper right corner, but to the left of the URL bar, where there's usually a circular refresh icon, it's still showing an "X," even though the progress bar shows that the page is fully loaded.

I've got the same page up in Safari and in Firefox, and they look very different. In Safari, I'm not seeing a Best Buy banner at the very top of the page (above the HTF logo), nor the Tivo or "filmstrip" ad on the right, nor the "Visit Our Sponsors" section which is currently showing two Blu-ray ads. As far as I can tell, the rest of the page looks the same.

Hope that helps....!

Oops, there's one more that isn't displaying on the Safari side: The "Sponsored Link" for an Optoma HD projector that's just under Parker's messasge.

[TonyD]

the spinny thing is in the actual "tab" that is near the top of the page and just below the address bar.

[Mary_P]

Ah, I don't have tabs turned on, hence why I didn't see it. Thanks for elaborating.

I'm still having problems on my intel iMac as well. OS X 10.4.10; back button takes me right out of the forum to the previous site I visited. Safari and Firefox both exhibit the problem.

[Nelson Au]

Holy Cow, the HTF suddenly looks different!

However, this problem with the back button while using Safari seems to still be fighting the forum software and Safari. Interesting to read a user is also having the issue with Firefox. I tried using a PC with IE for grins and it was okay.
