Inexplicable Redirect....no BACK history
Hi All

I'm using Mozilla 1.2b (will switch to 1.2.1 as soon as I can)

Try this:

Go to the following url and watch what happens:

http://www.hnc.com

Their home page starts to build, and then the darn thing redirects to this:

http://www.fairisaac.com/

What's weird is that once the fairisaac site comes up, you cannot click the BACK button to go back to the hnc site. It's like it's totally lost.

Why would the hnc site start to build, then redirect, then disappear?

How does it eliminate the BACK history?

Also, if you quickly click one of the hnc links, it stays and builds the page.

The quick link that comes up for the redirect looks like this:

http://www.hnc.com/home/index3?skipCheck

I've never seen this type of slash and burn redirect anywhere else.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Smile

I'm using IE6 and when I hit back it goes back to HNC but then obviously the redirect kicks in again and sends me to the other url.

Yeah, I was thinking that it had something to do with Mozilla....

The problem you experienced happens with Phoenix too. If I go to yahoo, then type in the url to hnc.com, let it redirect and hit back, I end up at Yahoo.
