"back" button total failure

The back button does NOT work when using the Adobe stock website.

99.9% of the time it brings you back to either the page you were on 10 pages ago, or it brings you in a loop back and forth between a few pages (none of which are the one you want), and the WORST is when it brings you basically back to the Adobe Stock homepage. It looks like it should still be searching for results based on what I input, and yet every single result on the first page is not even remotely relevant. So NOW I have no way to go back and find the image I want to find.....  How does a 'Back' button not work in 2019?!?!?! And repeatedly, consistently NOT working.... It's BEYOND frustrating, and the only remedy is to just open absolutely every click in a new tab or window, which is absurd. This is more than a bug - this is just a website completely failing to work.

Providing us one example user case failure will certainly help us to investigate for further analysis.

Thank you,

I have exactly the same issue and it's a terribly inefficient waste of time. I was googling the issue which is what brought me here. Looks like I'm not alone. If my client didn't have an account for images I wouldn't use Adobe stock for this reason alone. The back button never brings me to the previous page. Even if I choose a previous page to go to, it brings me way back to the very first search item I entered. I don't want to click on "similar images" because then I will lose my place for sure. Using Firefox.

Just browse your own website, and they try hitting the back button. This certainly cannot be an issue for your USERS only!

Well it's 2 years later and still having the same issue and it's slowing down my work incredibly. One day Adobe opens up a new page in the browser to look at a "Series", the next day it doesn't and hitting the back button takes me to the home page.

 

To be very specific, if I click on "more from this series" or "more from this model" I can view the photos in these series, but I can't get back to my main search. If I hit the back button, it takes me to the home page and my initial search is gone. I've tried choosing a previous page from my search and still it takes me to the home page.

 

How can anyone get any work done when they have to start a search from page one every single time they decide to have a look at a series? No more clicking on any "see more from..." for me. I've wasted enough of my time.

Please fix, it's ridiculous and no other stock photo site has this issue.

Exact same problem. It's a massive waste of time to restart my image search every time I hit the back button. Yes, I can open each image in a new tab, but having 15 tabs open to the same website points to a flaw rather than a feature. I've never had this bad of a UX on any other stock site in 16 years of graphic design work. Please address it, the problem has been ongoing for years.

Greetings from 2023 where this is STILL an issue. Unbelievable. 

 

Adobe, the range and quality of photos are excellent but searching for them is a miserable and inefficient experience for the reasons described in the above example. Please fix.

Totally agree on this issue. It drives me crazy! I open any image im interested in a new tab or I will never see it again.

 

Here's how to recreate the issue. Start a search for a sunset, then you find a good sunset image of a beach and image click that image, then see a realated one (say sunset over hills), click that and once you do, if you hit back it will take you back to your first search starting point and skip right past the beach sunset. Its super frustrating!

 

Same thing happens when you choose "find similar"

For example i take the beach sunset photo, hit find similar. Despite the image I used to find similar being in the upper left corner there is NO way to get back to that image. Which is awful because I really liked that image and i was just looking for others like it in case there was a better one. Really hope someone can look into this. I use adobe stock almost everyday for my job and its super frustrating compared to other sites.

Yes, this is an awful browsing/search experience that desperately needs addressed - Chrome and Firefox are my primary browsers. Same problem in both browsers.

3 Months after the last post, now in 2024, this is STILL an issue. I thought I was going crazy for a while and it is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that one of the largest enterprises in the world can't provide a service where a simple action such as using your browser's back button works! Apparetnly this has been an issue for several YEARS! Surely this issue could have been addressed within all the time that has passed from it initially being raised. Why are you IGNORING your user community Adobe!? We pay well to use your servcies you should care to provide functional services for your users. This problem is affecting millions of users, what will it take to get action on this!

Totally Agree! It's way past time for an answer to this! I still use it daily and my "solution/work-around" is to open 20-50 windows.
