Default Re: using back button deletes work

Agreed. Threaded mode is really weird.

The "lost posts on back button" seems to be that it's loaded a new version of the page every time, rather than using what's cached in the browser.

I find that this is true when I ignore somebody- if I go back, it reloads the page and I don't see their posts, whereas before the update you would have to refresh the page before this took place.

Frankly- this is how I'd prefer it. A good rule of thumb for composing long posts online is to ALWAYS work offline for exactly these reasons. It's something we tell our students (I work in online learning) a lot. Someting will eventually screw up and losing work sucks.
