Back button not working properly now?? IE
Just back for a quick surf at lunch and notice that now, FT seems to be loading pages twice, thus losing the ability to move backwards and forwards between page visits in historical order. This was not the case a few hours ago during my "morning surf". What gives? Is this somehow related to the knucklehead posting in Mileage Run? Are you guys getting attacked somehow? Or is this something in my browser?
Note: I moved over to Opera browser to see if this is an issue, but the pages seem to be loading properly there.

No ideas here. Mine was doing the same thin a couple of hours ago, then everything worked properly, and now it's back to having to click the back button three times to go back to the previous page.
I will investigate my firewall log, but I don't think that's it. When I leave my cursor on the back button it gives me a very weird Back To: address. Then, when I put it over the forward button, I get a Back To: "HTTP 404 Not Found" address.
Also, when I navigate to other sites, like NWA.com, or MSN.com, I can go back and forward with no problems using these buttons. This leads me to suspect that something ain't right at FT--not that I'm complaining.
Very strange. Hope this helps.

For much of yesterday I had to click the BACK button three times. Then, late in the day (evening) it cleared up. Now, this morning, it is back again. I have to click the back button three times to get it to move. I checked numerous other sites, and this glitch is only occuring on Flyertalk.
I'm using IE with WindowsXP.

I'm also having this problem today; I did not have it yesterday. I run IE/XP. Spyware cleaned and Norton virus check ok. It only happens on FT -- all other sites work as normal.

Edited to add: I've since tried clicking back three times and that works.
