what's going on....

for the past couple of weeks every time i hit the "back" button on my puter i lose the YT page i was on. refresh does no good. only happens with YT.

I haven't had any problems, but I only use classic view.

me too.

Back button works on YT on Modern view for me.

It may not apply to you, but if you use Chrome as your browser they changed the behavior of the back button some time ago. Chrome is self-updating so I guess it is possible that you just got updated, although I would think that update, which is pretty old now, would have come to you a long time ago.

If you wish to restore the old behavior you need to install a Chrome extension and enable it.

No problems here, and I use modern, but very rarely do I use the back button. That being said, I do seem to encounter more issues with YT than any other website I visit. Usually those issues are brief, and I just deal with it.

Click to expand...

which web browser are you using? I use firefox at home and chrome at work, no problems like that with either. is it only the YT website that gives this issue?

AOL but YT is the only hiccup.

I use Chrome and the Back button doesn't work. To go back I hold down the Alt button and tap the Left Arrow button. Works every time.

Been doing it with mine too. Ticks me off to no end when I type out a reply then find a typo and try to go back to fix it by hitting the back arrow instead of return to form.

If I take the time to type an elongated response and need to correct something, I always highlight the entire text, right click and select copy before going back. I won't take the time to type it twice. Once is enough for people who nine times out of ten never acknowledge that they even read it. Sorry to say, unless I know the person who asked the question, more and more I don't even bother typing it once.

Ya,there was one day that it happened a couple of times before I wised up and copied it. You get in the habit of not doing it though,and you know how that goes.

I got frustrated as all get out when I was posting on that toy post Sunday and found out something too. On classic anyway,if you post some pictures and just use a period in the text box,then try to post more pictures a few minutes later and only use a period,it'll bring up a box that says it's a duplicate post and won't post it. Hit the back button and you loose it all. I went to all the bother of loading a bunch of pictures and it did it twice before I wised up and used two periods and two asterisks to make it work the third time.

I can tell yo7 this. YT I guess I am lucky without troubles. The site that did go buggy is U'tube. The control buttons got all shifted around about two weeks ago. Several people have told me the same.

golly glad that aint happening to me ,

i have have problems since the latest windows update a step backwards if you ask me

exactly.

No problem here. I use windows 10 and Chrome and switch between modern and classic.

I just went to the warehouse where they use windows and researched this. Since they use MS Edge, and just got a new version, this has been happening. I couldn't get Modern View to do it, but certain places on Tractorshed, the Store and the Classic View forums will do it. I think I know why it seems that YT is the only place it's happening, but that isn't the case, it's any site that uses the filetypes we use on some programs. It's actually pretty common out there, just not the relatively few places most people go.

The problem appears to be that Microsoft (and possibly Google based on this thread) have started to protect you from being able to back up over a form of a certain type. Like a on a search bar, or submitting a classic view post, it senses you are backing up to a page that had a form, it decides to protect you from doing that. A couple of places that are easy to reproduce this, are going into our store and searching for a tractor part, when you look at the part and hit the back arrow, Edge won't let you do it without clicking the refresh button at the top. Looking for a photo with the Tractorshed search also does the same thing.

Sometimes this is okay, like if you've submitted a post, you definitely don't want to back up because that's how you get a double post, but the way some of our searches are set up, it's just an irritant. We'll figure out how to fix it but we just started researching it today.

We couldn't make Chrome do it, only Microsoft Edge. Of course Firefox and Safari continue to work as the standards define and there are no problems.

From preliminary study, this is a Microsoft bug, but we may be able to fix it by changing how some of our forms are displayed.

Microsoft is currently recommending solutions that suggest they are unaware of where the problem is (doing restores or running the windows repair). The information I found is a couple of weeks old, so it's possible by now, they have figured what it actually is and are working on another windows update that will correct it.

If we can figure out why some pages don't experience it, we might be able to implement a change to those which do.

I'll start a thread in Site Comments concerning this after I do a bit more study.

edge here.

That's about exactly what's been happening since the update a couple of weeks ago on this windows 10 edge junk.

and then it says "this page was just here a second ago. You may need to look through the site to find the page again. Then try this "refresh" and nothing happens so hit the back button and loose what you just typed.
