When the back arrow doesn't take you where you were, what does it mean and how else do you get there?

Use your mouse to click on the word/letter where you want to be. Use your delete key from there if you need to delete a word or letter.

History?

Ahh, I misunderstood the question.

If a back arrow takes you to a page with dynamic content, it won’t look the same as it did before. Some links also take you to one-way streets, i.e., you look for a back arrow, but you don’t find one.

Ctrl+H brings up your Internet history. You can usually find a back page in there.

Thanks everyone. I guess I have to wait until it happens to me again, to try your suggestions, right? Thanks again.
@chyna I gave you a point for your second posting

What I meant was is there a site that you can think of that seems to do that all the time, so I can try it.
