SMF 2 taken over my Browser

I've noticed since upgrading to smf 2 that the back button doesn't work now once you've made a post.  I don't know if this was done on purpose but it is annoying to  have a site (your own site) stop you from doing it

Never had it myself on any 2.x version
Do you get the same thing here?

Most likely something else is interfering with the page so it won't go back.
Have you got any iframes or ads on the page?

Straight after making a post yes I can't go back pages

Check to see if your browser is opening a new tabbed page and the focus is shifting to that page on the submission of the post.  If so, there is nothing to go "back" to. 

Your tabbed browser settings may need to be modified.

No its nothing to do with tabs because I'm using the  first page.  This only started after upgrading to SMF 2.0

Can you verify that this is not happening to this site here as well? How about if you use another computer and go to your site and post? Same problem?

Give us a link to your site with a test login account if you want.

Have you got the option ticked in Features and Options to allow your browser to go back to cached pages?

I have two computers and two sites with SMF. The problem is affecting both computers and sites including this one (after making a post)

Not sure if this is your case, but I have found on some site, you need to click back two times very quickly.  OR, use the back page drop down and choose the page 1 before the top one listed...  This SHOULD fix your problem.

Do you still require assistance with this?

This is very curious indeed!  And i admit i've never seen a problem like this.  I don't even know if its technically possible to do.  But spectropro makes a good point -- if you're getting redirected sometimes you have to click it twice or you will go back and be redirected again
