Hi,

Could someone please explain to me why the back button(left arrow) in IE 7
does not have this small down arrow, in the same way as the forward
button(right arrow) has it. And yes, there is several pages visited.

The two drop down menus have been merged into one. So for example if you've
visited three pages, and you go back one. You'll see the forward items
listed above the currently highlighted page, and the back ones listed below
it. Like so:

Page 3 (forward)
Page 2 <- current page
Page 1 (back)

That's how it is in IE 7.

And don't give me a hard time, because I didn't design it that way ;-)
