Can't get to page

[RangeBob]

In any thread, I can always get to the 'next unread post' regardless of what page it's on.

In most threads, when I click back a page, I end up on the page I requested. (i.e. works fine)

In Internet Explorer browser with javascript disabled,
in some threads, when I click back a page, I end up on page 1 rather than the page I wanted to get to. And I can't thereafter get to any other page other than page 1 (e.g. LAST doesn't work either).
e.g.
hxxp://www.gunownersofcanada.ca/showthread.php?32578-Calgary-Earls-location-eliminates-tipping-replaces-it-with-16-‘hospitality-charge’/page4

WORKAROUNDS
1) If I remove the text after the thread number (32578), so the URL looks like this, I get to the page without problem:
hxxp://www.gunownersofcanada.ca/showthread.php?32578/page4
2) a fully enabled Firefox browser

Javascript in browsers really isn't much of an attack vector anymore. I'd dump Internet Explorer. IE11 is their first version to be (finally) fully standards compliant, yet it is also the last version of IE to be made. While it is indeed standards compliant it is a slow browser compared to others. Personally I'd choose Firefox over Chrome. Chrome is great but there is that level of distrust of Google. In Firefox you should be able to find a decent add-on that allows you to block Javascript by site so you could essentially leave Javascript off except for a site like GOC.

As a web developer I wouldn't even consider writing a site that works with Javascript turned off anymore. Javascript, CSS and some server backend are the web. Html is just the two by fours now. Most sites get data from a server as needed when needed (as opposed to strictly when the page is first loaded) and require Javascript for that.

Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know RB.

I'm with Doug. Firefox and Chrome are far superior. Having done a little web development myself, trying to make a site work with IE is typically a nightmare.

Back on topic,
I think the problem is the single quote in the URL.

This thread also suffers from the same problem

and Back Off Topic

In 2000, IE had 90% of the browser market. That's changed.

I tried to replicate your problem yesterday but had no luck. But that just means I got "something" wrong in trying to duplicate your setup. Have you tried the above URL with the ’ escaped as %2C to confirm?
