Forum Behavior

I often only have a few minutes to read the info here, so I don't log in to get my normal 50 post list. So when I read the first 10, and go to the "Older Topics" link I get the next 10, (11-20). But when I open a thread and read the contents, the only available link takes me back to the original first 10 posts list. No matter how far I go (30-40), etc., it always takes me back to the first list after reading a threads contents. Irritating!
Is this a new format or something I'm missing on the forum. 9c here and a new Vista laptop. Thanks, John

Why don't you just use your browser's "Back" button instead?

I only click on the link when I want to go back to the beginning of the list and have it refresh the list for new messages.

Were you aware you can bump the forums setting from 10 topics per page to 100?

But, that only works when you are "logged in". The OP says he often doesn't log-in and that's when he has the problem (he sees a 50 post page when logged-in)

My suggestions ... use your browsers BACK button instead (as alreasy suggested here) .. OR .. try to get your browser to log-in for you. I assume that means accepting cookies. I read the forums from three different computers and once logged-in I never have to re-log-in when I go to the forum pages.
