I’ve noticed that usually when I hit the “back” button (go back a page) on my browser that it usually will not keep going back to the pages I previously visited. Instead it goes back a page (possibly two) and then keeps refreshing the page I was on. I’m guessing that this is do to the forum being treated by Mozilla Firefox as though it were a page where you place information into it?

Is this working as intended?

I can construct situations in which the back button stops working: whenever I’m looking an embedded picture (embedded in a post on this forum), I can go back to the thread I’m looking and maybe back to the page I started reading in the thread, but it won’t go back OUT of the thread.
Maybe this information helps.

It’s been like this since release, and it frustrates me to no end. Usually happens after following a link within a thread, or replying to a thread, but can happen any time really. Should have been fixed ages ago.

Forum aesthetics: A+
Forum functionality C-

Also, WTB “First Dev response” button on thread and forum pages.

In latest Firefox. If you click to sub forum, say here.

If you click back button you can never back up to the main forum listing. you are always stuck on the most current sub forum

I have noticed that sometimes if I follow a link from a forum page, say page 3 of 17, that when I back from whichever link it was, I end up on page 17 for some crazy reason. I wasn’t on that page. Then clicking back just stays on that page and never goes back at all. This is with Firefox.
