Question

+1 Jive bug when using back button

Why do you go back to the first page when you hit the back button after reading a post on the THIRD (or other) page?  It should send you back to the third page or whatever page you just came from!

    It has been said that the behavior is due to the AJAX technology used to generate the pages. Alas for now it is what it is.

    Muahaha... points for you for pointing out this gem of Ajax sucking.  Ajax sucks, it's true, it's true.  No really--you're serious?  If that's true: WOW... and WTF?  Honestly I'd be a little surprised if Ajax crap was really to blame--I think you mean to say Jive's poor implementation of the Ajax hack.  Of course they would never say it that way.

    Yet another reason Jive Clearspace fundamentally blows. I hear a list of all the issues with this software would wrap around the moon 6 times, with "broken login" and "no browser compatibility" to spare.  Would probably fill up Adobe's server space, the list is so long. It would probably fill up the Internet too.

    this was reported the 1st day of the "new and improved"  forums. i think it's so that once something scrolls off page one, it'll be forgotten.

    what? that's not the intention? shocking!

    I noticed it's benefit immediately this morning upon returning from a week off - I had zero desire to check the unread conversations that had fallen off the front page.  Hopefully they're all answered.

    But Jesse, that's almost never the case when someone hits the back button. 99% of the time they're looking at posts on the 2nd or 3rd page.

    However it sounds so much like a lame Jive excuse, like "Remember Me" not working correctly being "enhanced security", I wouldn't be surprised if the clowns used it to explain their bug.
