# [Plugin: Jetpack Carousel] Back button not working properly

 * I’m using Jetpack 2.0 on WordPress 3.4.2 and the Carousel is behaving badly.
   
   If you look at [this page](http://weidmann.roomfiveproductions.com/fine-art/faith/)
   you will see the gallery. Clicking any image opens the full-screen carousel. 
   Navigating between images works properly. Closing the carousel works properly.
 * What does NOT work properly is the browser’s “back” button.
 * After browsing several images using the Carousel, then closing it and trying 
   to use the browser’s back button, you will see the URL change to show each anchor
   visited in the carousel. For instance, if I view three images in the carousel,
   then close it and hit the back button, I have to hit it five times before I actually
   go BACK to the actual page I came from:
    gallerypagename/#jp-carousel-288 gallerypagename/#
   jp-carousel-289 gallerypagename/#jp-carousel-290 gallerypagename originalpage
 * I’ve seen the same behavior on other sites running the carousel, such as [http://kovshenin.com/2012/jetpack-carousel/](http://kovshenin.com/2012/jetpack-carousel/)
 * This seems like a bug, to me.

 * Agreed. Maybe not a bug, but certainly a problem for user experience. I just 
   watched my mum enjoy a gallery of about 30 images and then click the back button
   31 times to return to the main gallery page!! It didn’t occur to her that she
   could use the main menu to get there, but then she’s used to the back button 
   working as expected.
 * Any fixes?

 * Just a thought, if Konstantin is there…
 * Is it possible to disable the carousel permalinks? And if so, would that restore
   the back button functionality? I’d be happy to try to dig into the code if you
   could point me in the right direction.

 * I’m having the same issue.
    See the page below for example. [http://cagmag.miraiserver.com/photo-archive/fushimi-inari-2012-winter/](http://cagmag.miraiserver.com/photo-archive/fushimi-inari-2012-winter/)
 * I’ve searched the web, but was able to find only a few posts pointing out this
   bug, and none of them has been answered by the author.
    It is so frustrating 
   because the feature itself is really fantastic, but this tiny bug makes it completely
   unusable, for me at least. I’m using Jetpack 2.3.1 on WordPress 3.5.2, if it 
   helps.
 * I really hope there would be a fix.
