The Messages back button that appears in the upper left corner of the message screen to get to past conversations has disappeared, it was fine this morning and I can't figure out what the issue is. Any ideas?

Maybe its some little hiccup with the phone. You may want to do a soft reset. Hold down the home, and sleep button until the apple logo comes up. Hopefully that will fix the situation. Also the button doens't say back, it says messages. Maybe that button is there for you. Not sure without seeing what your screen looks like.

soft reset fixed it! How strange!

soft reset fixes lots of things. Always the first thing you want to try when there is something wrong with your phone. Really any phone. BB or Android have a problem, do a battery pull. iPhone has a problem, soft reset.

When in doubt, do a soft reset. It was better with Blackberry, you could say when in doubt, pull it out. ;)
