Back button doesn't function properly

Question

Firefox 3.6.12OS X 10.6.2If I'm on, say, page 3 of a forum and I read a post, if I hit the Back button in my browser it takes me back to page 1 rather than page 3. Super-unfriendly and annoying behavior... does this happen to anyone else?(Why Adobe didn't just use known-great forum software like phpBB I'll never know...)

When on a page, beyond Page 1, look near the top of the page, and choose Up to Discussions in ____ Forum. It is the second line, and appears in blue in Chrome. That should keep you on Page X. Now, if you post, you WILL end up on Page 1.

Here's a look in Chrome:

Good luck,

Found a way to get around the problem with the Back button.

Say I want to read a few posts on page 2 of a forum; I read the first post, then click on the 'Up to Discussions in ...' once. This will modify the URL in the address bar to http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments?view=discussions&start=30

After this I can use the Back button from every topic on that page, and it will always go to the same page 2 (start=30). Of course the same will work on every subsequent page.
