So, we currently have the "Back" button only working when it feels like it... the "Participated" tab only working half-way... now the site is constantly trying to do stuff in the background to the point where if I leave it open in the browser, the computer never manages to get into sleep mode. And as of today, the page constantly tries to jump to the bottom of whatever page you're on, which is tooth-shatteringly irritating when you're in the middle of reading something. Whatever page it is; a thread, the menus, this reply box. Scroll up, wait three seconds, maybe get to type a word or two... screen srolls itself back. Scroll up, type five letters, screen scrolls itself back.... repeat to point of frustration. Then go beyond Whatever you've done, please undo it because it's on the verge of being unusable as a forum right now

Other than changing a small bit of styling I've done nothing. It could be issues with updates from proboards interacting badly with preexisting stuff. I don't have as much control as people may think over these things. I will do my best to look into it. It is tricky because outside of the "participated" button issue I don't have any of these problems.

the page is refreshing continually, so when you try to go back, it appears as if nothing is happening, but actually there are multiple iterations of the same page in the history to get 'back beyond'.
For example this page has reloaded 10 times and counting in my history.
Browser: Firefox 54.0

Interesting.. I suspect an advert is causing this as it is the only thing I can think that would be different about your pages to mine.
I've been attempting to prune out the video ads that get served as they are annoying, so I could do the same with the adverts you have if I know which ones they are, maybe that will fix it.

Okay it would seem to be an advert of some description. I get the same "constantly loading" thing going on when I have the advert mentioned in this thread : forums.dragcave.net/index.php?showtopic=179220It is an advert for Amazon Music.. I've been through the Google Ads review center to find it and remove it as being a thing that can be displayed on our forum... but I've not found it yet (I have 72,000 pages of ads to go through and reducing it to Amazon adverts didn't help me find it). I think this is the thing that is reloading and messing up people's history.

You don't happen to be on Win10 do you? The latest update has caused all sorts of odd problems, including some of those you describe.

Yeah that is the one I have too. Trying to find it to block it.

Kill it! Kill it with fire!
The problems certainly sound like the ones you describe; the "constantly loading" thing would explain a lot. Thanks for taking the time to investigate, Boss, appreciate it
