Recently I had four people ask me why their back button in Google Chrome doesn't
work on XenForo powered forums. After lots of experimenting I found the issue!
All of the people who had this problem had AdBlock installed!
----
Apparently, with AdBlock Installed, XenForo loads the webpage, then the advertisement, then the content.
When you try to use the back button, it attempts to unload all the content and the Ad,
but keeps you on the same page. The page simply reloads leaving you at the top.
Pressing back two times will take you back to the last page, but occasionally takes you back
three to five pages. The solution: Uninstall Ad-block! When AdBlock is not installed, the ads load at
the same time as the rest of the website. Then it only needs one "back" to get where you want.
----
Many websites rely on Advertisements to stay up! Those ads at the top of the page and
in-between posts help keeps MCSG alive. Those of you who use AdBlock on YouTube, don't! Google actually needs that ad revenue to stay alive. The first year Google owned YouTube they tripled their server size, and ended up
in the negative some couple million. If you use AdBlock, YouTube will disappear, as well as your favorite
Tubers.

Ok my rant is done. That's how you stop the back problem. Enjoy
(I might make a video of the problem and correcting it in the future.)
