    Good update.

     

    Were you aware that sometimes clicking on topics gets the user sent to a page from which you cannot return to the main menu?

     

    It happened to me today when I clicked to attend the new webinar today.  I was able to sign up, but then I could not get back to the front page.

     

    This issue comes and goes.

    Hi DAB

     

    Can you give us a few more details here? What stops you from returning?

     

    And am I correct assuming that this is recent? You've only had this since March 25th?

     

    Thanks for letting us know, it's all useful to try to make everybody's experience better image

    Hi Dudley,

     

    I am using Windows 8.1 and Explorer, I think version 9.

     

    When I click on the topic, it sent me to the web page, but then when I clicked on the previous page arrow, it took me out of the element 14 site.

     

    I usually just go to the menu and go to the next area of interest, but it does make me wonder why?

     

    I have had this problem on and off for many months, not consistently, but occasionally.

     

    I am sure it is an easy fix, but it would be interesting to know why it prevents a return to the previous page.

     

    Thanks

    DAB
