Back trouble

Win7 HP and Chrome Browser

I am finding that sometimes, for example, when reading a forum's thread that has several pages, that use of the back button or arrow does not work. I remain on the same page. The icon in top left rotates too. A few times it works eventually, but mostly I have to use the equivalent of something likea site's "AAAForum > Internet > Web Browsing & Email > Start new topic" and select the penultimate item; not helpful if you wan to step back a page pf the thread.

I cannot work out if it only happens on certain sites.

What could be the cause, and the cure? Ideas anyone?

Does the same behavior occur when using IE?

I haven't tried FF or IE, but will. As the problem is intermittent, proof positive could be elusive. Today one forum which seems a frequent sufferer is working OK. Might it be something their end at all?

Doubtful, if it happens on several forums. But, then again...

I almost never use the back button when browsing. I always open forums and threads in new tabs. When I'm through with the thread, I delete the tab and and, bingo, I'm back where I was. Right now, I have three tabs open: Windows 7 Forums, General Discussion, Back Trouble
