'BACK' button stays grayed out

Ramona!!! help meeeeeeeee!!!

all of a sudden i no longer can use my 'Back' arrow button it stays grayed out, also is greyed out when i try to get to it using right click.

could i have accidently check marked or UNckmarked something to cause this to happen? everything else is working just fine, any ideas??

 

Are you set to open in new window?

Look on the task bar and see if you don't have the original window on there.

 

If you go to edit--preferences--
Navigator--history


try setting your history to 2 or more days
also, in NS7 anyways, make sure you
don't have your session history set to 0

 

back button grayed out

Bill, there isnt any NS icon on my taskbar (by my clock) just the NS window i have open but its over there <-- to the far left where the 'open' ones are ) but i dont ever show a NS icon by my clock task bbar ( i dont use quick launch either

 

Back button grayed out

indmusic,

now that you mention it, i WAS in there 'fooling around' with those settings and i just chked and they were on 10 and the session was set to 1 so i changed it to 10 and 12 for the sessions.. now lemme ck...OMG ! its back!!!!

thank you a bazillion times

 

I had a suspicious feeling

 

Left to right: Start then quick launch then task bar then systray wher your clock is.

Do ypu have more than one NS window minimized on the task bar?

Never mind.....

 

Bill, No just the one window and tabs...tabs & MORE tabs lol



indmusic,
funny that it does that that way isnt it? i mean, im thinking what should my history and sessions have to do with wether i want to use my back button or not ...( NM,,, DONT answer that lol i guess nescapes way of thinking and MY way of thinking are not the same way of thinking eh? .. anyway thanks you both very much

 

Hi So0o0Confused,

.
Think a little harder, and it will be obvious to you...

If you have your History set to 0 or 1, and you've done no browsing, then there is no page to go "Back" to... Also, depending upon how the site being visited is coded, there may be no page to go back to... thus why it should be set to at least 2 or higher. My preference is 3 days.
