IE on HG web page - project sunblock

[pete]

Not sure if this is just harmless but annoying, thought it was worth posting in case its a problem.

When browsing this web site on internet explorer (haven't tried on others), when in a sub board (has not happened on the main page but I don't think I would notice it if it did) sometimes by back button does not work, when I right click to bring up a list of the pages I can go back to it is filled with a site (I am adding spaces on purpose to prevent it becoming a link) http : // eu2.projectsunblock .com/system/serve (then some random numbers and letters) then a second address http : // adclick .g .doubleclick .net

because of that I'm betting its connected to proboards adverts, but thought it was worth mentioning.

That sounds more like adware on your system, to me. Have you run a virus scan lately?

Sounds like you have an IE problem. I suggest taking two doses of Firefox, or a single dose of Chrome, and call me in the morning.

Well instead of taking bad medicine like Firefox or Chrome I would look into a fix of the actual issue and if you want to research alternative browsers I would start with Opera.

norton says pc is fine, just tracking cookies

so far its only happening on proboards and randomly, not all the time, will keep an eye out for in on other sites though

oh an I like IE it may be slower but it has buttons where I want them

So can FF/Chrome, just have to skin 'em. Anyway, IE isn't slower unless you're using an old version.

P.S. I think I've seen this "problem" in FF/Chrome too, albeit not on PB and not recently. I'm pretty sure it's the result of some ad presenting itself in an iframe and using javascript to refresh the iframe by "changing" its location (i.e. some ad company wants to have a new ad displayed every 30 seconds rather than simply waiting for you to change pages).

I do know of some places where similar behavior happened for some users it seemed to be a problem with the adds which there is little control over for HG I believe.
