Browser Back Button issue

Rahul_Goswami is experiencing an issue with the browser back button on Chrome, where it sometimes takes multiple clicks to reach the previous page. The problem only occurs on posts with replies, requiring one back button click per reply to return to the original page.

codinghorror suggests trying a clean Chrome install or incognito mode with plugins disabled, but Rahul_Goswami reports the issue persists even after upgrading Discourse and disabling plugins.

codinghorror believes the issue is either browser-related or caused by a third-party Discourse plugin. Rahul_Goswami confirms trying everything, but the issue remains.

dax suggests the problem might be site-specific, related to installation, third-party plugins, or themes. He recommends using safe-mode to isolate the issue and shares nujabes provides the site link, https://kotoba.wiki/, for further investigation.

Hi,

I am facing issue in browser back button. Some topics generally takes 2-3 back button clicks to reach to the previous page. This issue is happening only Chrome browser.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

If it is specific to a browser it is likely due to plugins or browser customizations. Try with a clean install of Chrome, or in incognito mode with all browser plugins disabled.

HI @codinghorror ,

I did all the things as you mentioned. Even i upgraded the discourse version to the latest. The issue is in posts having replies. Suppose a post having 3 replies, it takes 3 back button click to reach the original page .

Any idea why this is happening.

It is either your browser or a third party Discourse plugin causing the issue. If you have tried in a different browser, and disabled all third party Discourse plugins, that’s about it.

@codinghorror tried everything. Unfortunately the issue is still there. :disappointed:

If you can’t repro the problem here on Meta it means that the problem is only related to your site, so it can depend on 3 factors:

  • incorrect or unsupported or outdated installation
  • third-party plugins
  • themes and theme components

Have you tried using safe-mode disabling plugins and themes? Does the problem still occur?

Also, can you share a link to the site?
