I've run across a new problem that just showed up today. When I sign in to Lumberjocks with Firefox on Windows 10, every time I go forward a page I see the new page and then it is like I hit the BACK button and I return to the original page. If I'm fast enough to select another page from that new page, I only return back to the second page. I can kind of bounce forward like this, but I'm never able to actually read the page I'm trying to see. I've tried this on 2 different machines with Firefox and the same thing happens. Unfortunately, I could never get far enough into the Site Feedback forum to post this, so I've had to resort to the Chrome web browser to leave this message. Luckily, it does not seem to be affected the same way Firefox is. This seems to be a fairly new issue. I guess I'll be using Chrome for a while.

Bouncing Back A Page On Firefox

I am having exactly the same problem since I think Saturday 30th January 2016. I am also using Fire Fox.

Firefox for me also. Tried Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 and it works fine. So it looks like it may be a Lumber Jocks problem that only shows up in Firefox or its a Firefox problem. Someone with more computer savvy than I will fix it.
Same problem here, on OS X 10.6.
For a long time, mine has also "reloaded" each page I've viewed, creating ~8-10 entries in my browsing history for every link I clicked. Made the BACK button basically useless.
UPDATE: Read some of the other threads and found that most of these problems are caused by the Ads (Thanks, Brad). Block the ads, block the problems. Site is much cleaner now AND I can navigate. WOW!
P.S. I installed AdBlock Plus via the Firefox Add-Ons function.

Whoops… you are right… after re-reading the OP, it's not the back button problem but something different. I'm using Firefox and haven't experienced it, even after updating it a couple times in the last few weeks. One suggestion is once the page is displayed and before it bounces back, try hitting the escape (Esc) button to stop loading the page… it might prevent the redirect from executing.

Clear the browser cache, maybe? That getting loaded up confuses the best machines at times. And it's the extent of my expertise with interwebz troubleshooting. <grin>
One explanation is - Firefox is garbage! I got rid of that POS a long time ago, as they did not prevent some kind malware from destroying my last computer.
I hope this of some help…..I have logged in with google chrome and changed my Lumber Jocks pass word and everything is working perfectly…...it's been a loooooong 3 days.

Been running fine here…Windows 7 on Firefox. Maybe my system is too slow for the Problem to effect me?
Most of the time, I just use the little arrow from the mouse. Move it to a spot I want, click the mouse, and I am where I wanted to be.
BTW: I also have "Ghostry" as the ad blocker/tracker blocker. Try it sometime..it is free, after all.

Well, I tried clearing the cache but that didn't work. I should have expect that since the problem occurs on both of my computers and they have completely different caches and browsing histories. The ESC key works sometimes, but you have to hit it at just the right time. I'll try an ad blocker next to see if that works.
That did it. Ghostery worked. I'm not sure why, but nothing succeeds like success. Thanks for the help.
I've the same issue and it started a few days ago. Running FireFox for years on my MBPro and no problems.
But this site, and all of its pop-up ads is becoming unbearable. And now this back one page issue.
I shouldn't have to download something else on my computer to block all of this stuff.
This site is no longer user friendly.
It's driving me away.
Send me an email when they fix it and then I'll come back.

I'm having the same problem (automatically sent back to prior page) running Firefox on a windows 7 computer. I guess I'll have to try adblocker. I get that this site is a business and I don't mind folks making money to host and moderate this site, but the site is basically unusable to me if I can't navigate!
I started getting this problem over a week ago. I am still using windows XP and firefox. When I "right" click on a link, I then click on "open link in a new window" and it works ok.
Just drop an updated hosts file on your 'puter…
