Hi!
If I'm doing something wrong I need to know what. Every single time I do a search in the Forums and go to one of the answers, if I hit 'Back' I get a page that says something like 'document is no longer available'. Every time! It's driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

'Forward' and 'Back' Buttons Apr 22, 2014

There are certain occasions that one is advised not to use 'Forward" and 'Back' buttons while navigating the pages. I guess this should be one of them. I do not know anything technical beyond that. I am just a user like yourself.

Then how do I return to my search results? Apr 22, 2014

Is it stated somewhere that we shouldn't use back or forward in certain place? What the reason is and what to do about it?

You can refresh the search page to restore the results you had Apr 22, 2014

Hello Linda,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. What you describe sounds normal. You should be able to restore your search results by refreshing the search page after hitting "Back". Alternatively, you could open search results in a new tab every time, to ensure you don't have to repeat the search.

Hello Linda,

If that doesn't work, could you please submit a support request and attach a screenshot of what you see when you hit "Back". That will help me look into this. Thank you.

Best regards,

Refresh works Apr 23, 2014

Thanks Alejandro!

Refresh works after I get the *webpage has expired*, though I have to go through several motions instead of it just bringing me back to my search results. I don't think that's 'normal', but thanks for the tips.

BR,
Linda

Aren't you asked to Apr 23, 2014

"Send again"?

This helps in some cases.

I thought this was normal Apr 23, 2014

I get the behaviour Linda describes on all websites where I have to enter data /filter results. When I use "back" these details are lost and I can't recover them with refresh/send again or anything. ProZ is one such website.

I simply open results in a new tab to avoid the problem (as Alejandro suggests).

But I thought that this was normal behaviour. I use Google Chrome. Maybe other browsers behave differently?
