Sometimes when I click a topic and read, then click the back button I will get an old list of topics and not the current ones. Anybody else with this problem? Solution is simple, just click the direct link and not use the back button. But it's a habbit.

Doesn't matter what browser you're using. Thay all do it. Hitting the back button does exactly that...takes you back to the page in the same way it first appeared. It accesses the browser's cache and refreshes all the pictures and html code as they were last saved on your computer.
If you're stuck in the habit of hitting the back button, follow it up with hitting the refresh tab or button. That will update the page to the most current version.
Hope this helps... Rapid

I just use Firefox & open new tabs for each subject or thread from the main bullboard, & close them when finished. I hardly touch the back button.

Ray, he's not talking about the topics from just a few minutes ago updating.... Sometimes when I hit the 'Back' button on mine, it loads an OLD page from the cache. It will have a list of topics from like 3 or 4 days ago. NONE of the current threads from the last few days will be showing. Hit 'Refresh' and it goes back to normal.
Mine ONLY does that in IE, not in any other browser.
