So... I posted about this the yesterday, IE 8: Weird go-back issue...
...Any new suggestions?

As I mentioned in that thread (post #2) it works properly for me in IE8-32 bit. All you can do to fix IE8 is reset it, although I've heard some people suggest unchecking IE8 from "Programs and Features"/"Windows Features" and then, after rebooting, check it off again to reinstall it.

So far I've verified it works on my systems running 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, fully updated. My security program is MSE. (I've tried it with the popup blocker on and off and also with my hosts file blocking on and off.) Besides talking to the Deviantart folks, you could also call the help desk for your PC and ask them to do the back-button test on www.deviantart.com . If it works for them but not for you, they may be able to suggest something. However, they will most likey want you to restore your system to it's factory installed state.

Ageeb- No, no. In add-ons disabled and 64-bit IE, it doesnt do it. But earlier I had gone through the add-ons and found that all the add-ons I had previously disabled were once again enabled cause I had reset IE to factory default settings.

I dont know whats going on any more... its once again stopped doing it. Figures once I post, both here and on my dA help ticket, that its doing it again it stops...

If I were you I'd keep an eye on the eggnog, because it seems the evil gnomes in your computer are making alot of trips back and forth to it

Lol, it seems that way, doesnt it? Stupid thing is, when I said it wasnt doing it any more, it started doing it again. *eye roll* I give up.
