Does anyone else have troubles with your browser sticking to imgur?

Just an honest question, lately I've been avoiding imgur links on reddit because once I go there, I get stuck there. IE, I click the back button in opera and all she does is re load what I just navigated away from.

Frankly it's boring and I was hoping someone has an answer to it.

EDWITO: Well, that's it for me. I just got stuck here in NSFW land. As much as I giggled at it, not being able to get away from cocks showing their true form is where I draw the line.

Same here. It happened a few days ago for the first time, then it was OK for a day or two, and now it does that again. Using Opera too.

It sucks, I've cleared cookies and all that jazz, run malwarebytes and superantispyware, and nothing seems to fix it.

Let's get it out there and maybe someone who knows whats up can help us.

Probably someone should contact them. I HOPE it's not something intentional though. Speaking of Opera though, I hate how they changed it so even links that are supposed to open in a new tab now open in the same tab. If it opened it by default in a new tab (as it was intended) it wouldn't cause this particular problem.

This is true, although I don't notice what is meant to pop up and what isn't, as I've been using this browser for a long time.

I use Opera from 2005, and they changed this sometime last year I think. reddit has a setting where you can configure if you want links to open in new tabs or not, so all the links should open in new tabs if you check that option. They do with other browsers, just not Opera.

Yes, in some cases it crashes firefox - I made this a few hours ago and it seems fitting to this question: http://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/sp08i/imgur_d/

I read that as 'filling the question', and clicked expecting answers.

Maybe another solution would be a site like imgur, but with better bandwidth. Know any?
