Ad refresh is adding pages to my browsing history
Been using the forums the last few days and there is something seriously wrong, and I say that as web developer. I am working on mods so I may sit on one page for hours, while I write code and test, and then come back and do some more looking around. I quickly realized I had to the repeatedly hit the "Back" button in my browser, at first it was just irritating, but now I see what is going on. Every time your adds refresh it adds a page to the browsing history. I would think you would just use "XMLHttpRequest" in javascript to retrieve the image and link and place them in correct element, without adding things to my browsing history.
I should be able to use the back button without any hassle and the reason I can't is very poor programing techniques. I guess if its the code from AdChoices, get them to fix it but I am fairly certain I have used other sites that use AdChoices and had no issue. Even as I sit typing this 8 pages have loaded into my browsing history, how many times do I have to hit the back button to get back to where I was? Yes I could use the breadcrumb links at the top, but you know why I like the back button more, because it is always there and I don't have to figure out where its at. Breadcrumb links are only ever used in about half the web site I frequent, so the back button is way more reliable, at least until some bad programer goes and hijacks it.
