Check your settings. I have mine set to Time Zone: GMT Western Europe London and DST Correction Option: set to Automatically detect DST Settings.
Hope this helps.

Can't you use your browsing history? Little triangle thingy somewhere near the navigation buttons or something like that, depending on which browser you're using.

Just trying to follow a lead, not sure how to fix it yet.....does the url in the address bar change slightly when you hit back the first time, removing a # followed by a number?
thanks loenja regards dave

Not sure I follow you. The back button normally takes you to the previous URI that you were viewing, whatever that was. There may be no relationship to the current URI at all. The button doesn't specifically do anything to what's in the location bar except delete it and replace it with something else that happens to be the previous entry in the browser's history list.
Browsers may sometimes change the way the URI is represented in the address bar because of things like non-alphanumeric characters or characters that have special meanings. You will commonly see a percent sign followed by a number for example. Before you ask (I know, you weren't going to :)) the number may not necessarily be in the decimal representation so it might look like it has letters in it, but it's really just a number. If the representation does change when you press the back button, it might not be intentional on the part of the browser's authors. People who produce malicious Websites often use this kind of thing to try to trick people, by obscuring what might otherwise be a dead giveaway in the location (sorry, address) bar that it isn't really your bank's Website that just asked you for your password.
Or have I misunderstood the question?

Is there another thread for me to read about this?

Yes, you're not the one with the problem. ;)
In my search for a solution I've found that sometimes when there's a hashtag for a page anchor, pressing back once reloads the page without the hashtag, the second press of back takes you to the previous page as expected. I don't have the problem so I can't see what's happening to the url, hence the question.

There are a few threads regarding this problem that has been going on since about mid April, it has apparently been reported to admin who were looking into it.
If you type 'double click' into search you will get more info.

Ummmmm.... this might just be what's supposed to happen. If you go to some page or other, and in that page there's a link to an anchor within the same page, by clicking on that link you (a) change the URI in the location bar to the URI of the anchor (which as far as the browser is concerned is a different URI, not the URI of the page), and (b) insert the 'plain' page URI (the one without the '#anchor' bit) into the history list for subsequent retrieval by the 'back' button should you choose to use it.
If some page or other has a link to a URI which is a direct link to an anchor within a page, then I'd expect the 'back' button to take me back to the page with the link, not to the (so to speak) 'top' of the page containing the anchor, which I would call incorrect behaviour. Is the incorrect behaviour what you're seeing? If so, I'd suspect some sort of page coding issue, perhaps something with frames and/or JavaScript. I'd be a lot happier if JavaScript and frames had never been invented, but then publishers' options for abusing HTML would be much more limited. :)
Incidentally I can't remember seeing this behaviour on BCUK, but I've seen it occasionally on other sites. Usually I just don't go back there, like when people put slideshows on their home page or ask me to install something to view their site 'properly'. :)

Ah, thanks for that. From what I've read it seems that the problem is only seen by users of Internet Explorer, and that it may be the result of the (possibly ill-advised) installation of some Google advertising stunt by the forum owner. At least some of the Google software has been removed but it appears that it may have left traces of itself which are causing this problem. There's probably something in the Google small print which says you can't sue them for breaking your Website, even after they've legged it with the proceeds.
All I can say is don't use Internet Exploder, and be patient while they try to repair the damage done by Google. I understand that some users of work computers may not have a free hand, although they may be able to install a different browser for use only by themselves instead of for use by all the users on the computer. Check the policies first, because many employers view installing software on a computer without permission as a disciplinary offence.
I stopped using Google last year, after it became clear that the accountants are now running it.
Oh, and my browser is Iceweasel. :)

I'm coming to the conclusion it's either IE trying to be clever and ignoring the standards that all the other browsers adhere to, or it's a javascript error, but without someone telling me what happens it's difficult to investigate. This is why help-desk have remote access facilities so they can see what the error is when they can't replicate it on their own machines. Can someone with the error please tell us if there is any change when you press the back button the first time?? Please?
