Is there a setting somewhere to fix when you hit the back button it takes you to the top of the page? It seemed it was doing this after the upgrade, then it stopped for a while and now it is back. I don't want to scroll all the way to the bottom of a page to see my next thread when I hit back. Thanks.

Is everyone having this problem? Am I not an important enough member to even get a reply saying that everyone has the same issue and it can't be fixed?

This seems like a minor problem in the scope of things: waiting to reload is common, particularly when the page holds many features.

Sorry no one answered you right away, you are as important as the other 7,582 members. I wish I could give you a "fix" other than to ask you to get used to it, but I suspect that this is not something that will change soon.
If you are hitting the back button to return to "New Posts" it does seem to work better to simply hit "New Posts" again.
Thanks for your understanding.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you guys mean yet.

Sorry about the confusion.
Say you are looking at the bottom of the page in sell/buy. You are in a thread and you hit the back button on your browser, it takes you to the top of the page instead of the bottom where you were. The old software didn't do that. Is there a setting I am missing? It doesn't seem like much, but is time consuming if you don't have a lot of time.

Also is there a way to keep messages I haven't looked at bolded? I get a limited amount of time to look at the posts at work, and when I come back after looking at a few, it seems to automatically un bold all posts from when I was here before, even ones I didn't look at.

I am just trying to get the best use of my time at work to view as many posts. THanks.

When I hit "View Last Unread" and click the back button, it goes instantly back to the first post of the thread. When I scroll down and click back, it reloads the "New Posts" page. I'm using dial up. Says I'm hooked up at 50.6kps. Have you dumped your temp internet files lately? Someone had a problem earlier today and simply rebooting solved it. Go figure!
