Having an issue just on this site as of yesterday, when scrolling through the list of sections, or threads within a section, if I enter that section or thread and then press the back button, I'm then sent to the top of the page, regardless of where I was previously, this never happened before, and is not an issue on other sites ..... not world ending, but its annoying having to scroll back down again, to where I had got to.

Glad it's not just me, this problem makes the site much less useable.

I agree, it is making the site unusable, thanks for advising the techies hope they solve it soon.

Unusable is a bit strong smile

What browsers are people using? I can see this behaviour in Chrome and Edge, but not IE - so maybe it's a Chromium thing?

Same for me. I thought it was my browser but clearly not.

But it does work as before in MS Internet Explorer just not in Chrome or MS Edge (I haven't tried any others), so it clearly is the browser. Which browser do you use?

Chrome. Nothing has changed, no settings messed about with. Noticed it when the OP noticed.


and ETA , all other forums are no problem.

Same here. When you're nearing the bottom of a page set to 80 posts a page and for example click into a profile then hit the back button, have to scroll right back down again to carry on reading.

Well, it has frustrated me enough to stop using it until it is fixed. I currently use Firefox, but I also have edge and chrome they both give the same problem.
