'back' button gets changed once you sign in

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for the double post. I posted this question in another section earlier and realized it may make more sense to post in here.

Here's my problem/bug/late-night-edit:

When I'm going through my site as a guest and land on a page with a 'back' button (privacy, terms, shopping cart, etc.) it works as it should and passes me to the previous page.

If I sign into my account and click the same 'back' button, I am taken to my 404 page?

Any ideas why the link would be getting altered based on your sign in status? Is this a ZC bug or error on my part?

Cheers

Re: 'back' button gets changed once you sign in

What URL are you on specifically when the back button breaks and you have signed in to your My Account?

Re: 'back' button gets changed once you sign in

Hi Ajeh,

Ok, this is really, really strange, because now everything seems to be fine.

I'm not making this stuff up though! I had 2 people testing features on the site that both reported this happening before I experienced the same problem.

I haven't made any changes to the site in the last 12 hours, yet it seems to have fixed itself.

How does that happen?

Cheers,

Colin

Re: 'back' button gets changed once you sign in

The back buttons, in general, become smart once you start moving through the site ... and depending on what you are doing and where you are doing it ...

When in doubt, the back buttons take you to the home page if they get lost or confused ...

We are aware of the quirks to this navigation ... and over time we hope to perfect it in a manner all can use ... meaning, all browsers, javascript on/off, etc.

Re: 'back' button gets changed once you sign in

Thanks for the quick reply Ajeh. I'll keep trying different methods to see if I can re-create the error. If anything stands out, I'll report it back here.

Thanks again,

Colin
