Whatever you did, and whomever did it.....thank you, thank you, thank you........

Well, I did not have to double click last night, but I do now. So, maybe it's on my end. Somewhere

Ever since the facebook linkages were added,
some/most/all? of us have to hit the back button twice to view the previous page.

I still do, and it's annoying, but i've adapted.

SecretMethod70

Odd, I've never experienced that. What browser/OS/theme are you using?

I was wondering what he meant by this too. No problems here.

I have this issue viewing in IE, but not in Firefox.

Like I've said before, why don't those with this issue just use the shortcut of "ALT + left arrow" on your keyboards?

I'm sure many other have said to switch from using the IE browser, but if you are unwilling to do that for whatever reason, a simple combination of finger-pressings at your disposal can solve your 'little' hindrance.

I still have to do the ALT + left arrow twice. That takes longer than just a double click and doesn't really solve the 'little' hindrance. And it's not the double clicking that bothers me. It's forgetting when I don't have to double click and it takes me somewhere else that is annoying. And then the randomness. On some Friday nights a single click will do. And there was an odd couple of hours a few weeks ago, not on a Friday, that I only had to single click. But it's groovy. No biggie. Thanks for the tip, Jetee.

^ exactly Grancey...that describes my situation exactly as well. Sometimes it's a single click needed and other times a double. So if I double click when only a single is needed then it takes me too far back. One never knows if it's going to need a single or double.
And I don't know how to "switch from the IE browser". But it's no biggee, like you said.

Hey thanks! It couldn't be much easier than that

I'm no computer tech person. I just know when it works and when it doesn't. At the point it stops working correctly I am then forced to learn how it works to solve that problem. I am also a firm believer of "if it ain't broke you don't fix it" (sorry for the southern slang) which is why I never pursued Firefox. Anyway, I believe I am now on the third day of not having to double click. To me this is pure fun in how sometimes things just seem to temporarily fix themselves. Just an FYI. I know nobody really cares about the double click stuff, but to me it's amusing.

I don't even know where the back button is.. all my mouses have side buttons, so I use .. MOUSE4, I guess it is.. to back.. and MOUSE3 for forward, Middle Mouse for new tab. If I had to double tap that, I'd blow my brains out. Maybe it's an IE thing?

I am also on IE and for some time now I have to hit the back button (mouse, keyboard, or back arrow) twice to go to the previous page. TFP is the only site I know of where this is the case.

Craven Morehead

Same here, same as reported here

ring

and here: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...wont-work.html

I switched to Firefox.

Redlemon

I've never hit the back button on TFP. I just open new tabs from the list of threads, and close them after I read them.

I've got an upgrade for TFP coming. I just need to schedule the date I can do it and notify the community. It's going to be a total revamp so this bug will be going away 100%, of course that means there will probably be a new one.

After double-clicking for about a year, I have not had to double-click since mid-summer. Previously, the necessity to double-click would go away for a couple of days and then come back. But I have been double-click free for quite a while now. Still an IE user.

I like new bugs.
