browser back button starts over at page 1

Frustrating! I step through several pages using the next button, then I click on a post I am interested in reading, when I hit the browser back button it takes me right to page number 1 rather than the page I was last on. And then I have to step through the pages and try to remember where I was. This seems to happen everywhere --.biz Talk, Events, etc.

Paul, this drives me crazy, too! A few of us have posted about it on this portion of Biztalk but it's never been fixed. :( It's especially frustrating considering all the "bells and whistles" on this site and capability to do more advanced things...so, this seems like it would be an easy fix.

This has been on our list of things to fix for a long time. I'll bump it up the priority list!

Internet Explorer Workaround:

If you use Internet Explorer 7.0, right-click on a link and "Open in New Tab". When you've finished reading the new page, just close the tab, returning to the original window.

If you're using IE 6.0, right-click and "Open in New Window".

You can also avoid the problem by clicking on the page number, rather than the "next" or "previous" link.

Hummm.... I cannot reproduce the problem with my Firefox browser now. Have you changed something?

I think this is mainly a Windows IE issue.

Dan, I've had this on an intermittent basis--mostly recently the day before Aaron posted this. Of course now I don't recall exactly what I was doing, but I was using Firefox not IE. I'll get over here and be more specific if it comes up again.

Thanks Leila.

This is an issue with Firefox. I just had the problem this morning even when I used the "picking the page numbers" technique.

The page number trick is no help if you go to page 12, look at someone's profile & have to hit the back button. It simply sends you to page 1. I have this issue with Firefox and IE.

Thank you for looking into this, Dan.
