The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Strange behaviour with Google and Internet Explorer 8

Asked by grigorovsky in Internet Explorer Web Browser, Search Engines, Web Browsers

Something strange has just started happening on my machine which is running XP Home SP3 and IE8.

Normally the back button in IE works fine, taking me to the previously visited page. This still works fine most of the time but...

...If I connect through to a page from a regular Google search and then click the back button to return to the same Google search page, the browser makes a couple of clicking sounds, flashes the Google page, and then returns to the page I am trying to leave.

I have tried this with many different sites including one which is my own and I know that it does not have any scripting on it to achieve this behaviour. Remember it only happens when I connect to the site via a Google search.

Here's an example. Say for instance that I go to Google and type in OK. The first site up is OK Magazine. I click the link and I am taken to the OK magazine homepage. I then click the back button to return to my original search and the browser makes a couple of clicks, flashes the Google search page and then returns to the OK Magazine homepage.

By checking the entries in the drop down box next to the navigation arrows I have discovered this. When I first reach the OK Magazine page the entries in the drop down box show "OK Magazine" as the first entry and "OK - Google Search" as the second entry. Logically, therefore, clicking the back button should return me to the Google search page. But when I click the arrow it returns me to where I already am as detailed above. If I then check the navigation history it still shows "OK Magazine" as the first entry but now the second entry is "http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source". Very strange indeed.

I would be very grateful for a solution, this is a real head scratcher.
