Back button takes you out of board not back to last page

Why does the back button take you out of entire board back to the last web site visited and not back to the last page visited in the board?

For some reason when you go to the main website the forum loads in a frame. That's why the back button doesn't work. If you bookmark the following URL and use that to get to the forum instead, the back button will work as expected:

My "back" button works just fine. I don't know why yours does that.

Mine too. That's the first time I've heard of this problem. :headscratch

When you go to http://www.texaschlforum.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it definitely loads in a frame. This same issue was previously discussed in this thread as well (though they weren't specifically talking about the back button):

http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... =2&t=24653

The frame source looks like this:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<head>
  <title>TexasCHLforum.com </title>
  
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
  <frame src="http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_Forum/index.php" frameborder="0" />
  <frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>

<!-- pageok -->
<!-- 01 -->
<!-- 7.9-->
</html>
Perhaps it would be better to have a redirect rather than loading in a frame.

It is on a redirect from Godaddy.com. It's pointing to the same index.php file, so I guess the frame is being created as part of the redirector.

if it is a 'cloaked' or 'hidden' redirect, if you turn that off, it should solve the problem.

The URL in the bar will change from 'texaschlforum.com' to 'texasshooting.com/chlforum' but it won't affect functionality of the site at all.

Apparently Godaddy is causing it to load into a frame as part of their forwarding process. I'm going to move TexasCHLforum.com to it's own hosting account on icdsoft.
