Chris,

This is not so much a problem - more an annoyance.

When I'm going through the forum I go in and out of sub-forums a lot. When I've finished reading in a sub-forum I use "back" to return to the main forum.

Trouble is, each time I return from one of the lower sub-forums (like this one) I end up at the top of the page. So I end up with:

scroll down main forum
open sub-forum
read messages
"back"
scroll down main forum
open next sub-forum
read messages
back
scroll down main forum
open next sub-forum
...
and so ad infinitum.

In some other forums I have visited the "back" command returns you to the view you had before you went into the sub-forum. This makes viewing the list so much faster and much less annoying.

Is there some parameter you can set, to enable "return to the view you left earlier"?

rgds,

David

Mine already does what you suggest....and i havent changed anything in the options.

Click back and you are taken to the view you left on the previous page (if that makes sense)

David

Works alright for me mate- just tested to be sure and 'Back' goes to the original view!

You could always up your resolution so you don't need to scroll down!

Cheers,
James

EDIT: Ya beat me to it!

I know the issue your talking about, and have noticed that it works in IE but not in Firefox, which is annoying as I mainly use Firefox.

Cheers

I have the same problem today , but last night it was 'to last place', it seams to change depending on what mood it thinks I'm in !!

Bugger! Not another bit of IE-tuned software!

That really annoys me...

Although I guess it's more to do with the forum software that Chris is running, not a programming choice that he's made. Mind you, he is running this via Apache on Linux, so there's no real excuse!
