You mentioned before a browser cache of 1024 MB. That's way too big.
Reduce it to no more than 100 MB. I really only recommend 50 MB.

Re: Useless back button

Sorry for delay in reply, have been away. The back buttons that are built
into the page do not necessarily take me back to my previous page. They are
only there for purposes of "item review", meaning they just link between
items that have been on the air during an hour of programming and are just
there for purposes of reviewing only those items. If I do a general search
or place items in shopping cart and want to go back to the previous page I
was on, to reorder same item in another color or to see item again, I receive
the "page expired message". These pages do not have built in back arrows. I
have to use IE back button. The only pages that have the built in back
arrows are the 24-Hour Product Review pages. This is starting to occur on
some others sites now, too! Very annoying.

Re: Useless back button



Sorry for delay in reply, I've been away. I reduced my browser cache to 50
MB but haven't seen a change other than slowing down page loading a little.
Do I need to completely empty my cache before this solution may take effect?
Thanks.

I would think so.
