OK, so maybe i'm getting it wrong - but when i search for something the results come up. So far so good.

I click a thread and read it, again great.

But, when i'm finished looking at the thread and press the back button to look at the rest of the search results - I get a message saing that the page has expired, and i have to go do the search again!

Most annoying, but happy to be slapped and sent to the back of the class for being silly.

Just click 'Refresh' and then 'Retry' in the box that pops up - you'll then get back to the original search results.

Thumbs Up

T1zer - good idea.

I did the refresh / rety thing and got:

'The server is too busy to allow searching at this time. Please try again later.'

Deep joy...

What's this new tab you speak of ? I'm still on IE6 Wink

I do the same'ish, right click / open in new window.

One of those annoying things that could probalbly be fixed easily enough.

Firefox caches pages much better than IE, which has the added bonus that when you've written a two-page post and your internet connection goes down (not the server, 'cos oh no, that'd never happen Smile ), you just click 'back' and it intermagically reappears for you to try again when you've sorted the problem.

Opera caches even better than firefox Thumbs Up also get a handy speed dial page as a home page and because its not as widely used as IE and firefox alot of popups dont seem to register with it Thumbs Up

highly reccommend it Thumbs Up
