For me....it's those stinking pages that screw with the back button in such a way that it totally disables it.

Yeah, I'm sure your site is really the bomb, but if you don't have the info I want or you don't keep my attention, I'm gone. So don't screw with my back button and let me go back to Google to see what was second in my results list!!!

1. When that happens to me, I right-click the back button
and select the page I want to go back to. Never fails for me. :hi:

2. Most of the time that works for me, but it still annoys me...
Thanks for the tip...and don't forget: Ditch Internet Explorer and use Firefox (it's light years better than IE).

3. When the site doesn't function properly in Opera/Firefox
or anything besides IE.

5. I hate the back button one too--and the occasional pop-ups that still
make it through my blocker.

Also, a couple of weeks ago I got a nasty virus somehow and had to completely wipe my hard-drive and reinstall EVERYTHING--it sucked the big one.
