Suffering Benefiting from mature onset exercise addiction and low aerobic endorphin release threshold. Hoping there is no cure.
Your ISP blocks the back button? How does that work?
rururunner,
Google forbids me from displaying the ads in another window. According to Google, how an ad opens is culture specific. In China, it opens a new tab/window, but in US, it's the same window.
The links in posts open in new tabs. The iPad/iPhone devices aren't completely HTML compliant so they may not always do the right thing. I suspect the back button issue is also related to the watered down browser.

In the past (haven't tried it in about a year or so), Chrome has had some difficulties with the back button on some websites.
I'm sure of you ask the Chrome people, it's the website's fault.

Thanks. The link I clicked on was broken so my ISP (aka big cable company) redirects me to their lame search site and blocks the back button so that the ads get more "views".
Hi Eric,
This is interesting. Are you able to point me in the direction of more info on this and their reasoning behind it? (I'm a social psychologist with an interest in cultural influences on thinking.)
Thanks!
