ISO: ISO Mimi - New tech problem - Suddenly when I read a post, then click BACK, it takes me to the top

[meryl]

of the page again, and I can't see where I was. I have to keep scrolling down, just to get to that last post I read. This started yesterday, and has never happened in the whole year I've been here. Help!

Hey Meryl, welcome to Netscape. It's done this for me since the beginning. You

probably don't have Netscape but it's becoming more of a limited program. It being Netscape

mozilla does the same thing and has since the beginning

Hey Marg - I have IE6, and this is the first time I've had problems! Apparently, they just changed

servers over here, although I can't see how that could have caused this.

 

[wildwoods]

me too smileys/frown.gif sure is a pain. hope it won't be like this forever.

 

[dawnnys]

Me too, never did it before, but no problem.

 

[meryl]

Wow, I didn't realize how many people were having this problem. Hope someone can fix this!

I use IE6 and this just started happening to me yesterday too.

 

[steve2-in-la]

Me too with IE6

 

[CathyZ]

I use Safari and it works fine- takes me back to the same spot I was at

 

[mimi]

Okay, it's because of the new server. I've reported this. Thanks for the heads-up. )

 

[angak]

It happens to me at home, but not at work.

 

[pat-nocal]

Me too with Firefox. Has been a pain since the beginning but never happened at

Epi (and I was using Firefox there as well). Any chance it can be fixed too (asking pretty pleez and keeping fingers crossed).

 

[mimi]

Hi Pat, here is my original explanation of why it won't work in Firefox and why we can't fix

it to make it work in Firefox. (see link below)

This doesn't address the issue of why it suddenly doesn't work in IE though. We're checking it out. Sorry!

Hi Meryl...if you're technically minded, it has to be because of the..

no-cache directive that the server is sending out. See the link I sent to Pat a few replies down. That explains how the no-cache thing works (but not why it suddenly stopped working in IE).

It might be something else, but I think it's related to that. I'm not a server admin so my understanding of these things is a litte hazy.

I have IE6 and I don't have a problem. I'm not sure if that is helpful to know or not.

FYI Mimi - since this morning I am being returned to the post I was reading so all is OK here again.

 

[pat-nocal]

It's okay...I've gotten used to scrolling. ;o) Small price to pay for this great site.

Netscape has always gone back to the top but the IE at the office holds the place.
