Ok, This has bugged me since I became a member of BikeForums in May. When I'm reading a post, then click back to go back to the list of threads, the list is refreshed. I don't want this to happen. I want to load up the forum I'm interested in and just click through the threads I want. Flying around using the back button - not waiting on the sometimes painfully slow servers to show me the latest bumped threads. if I want the latest threads, I'll refresh!
The automatic refresh not only slows the page load for me, it also increases your server load. In addition, it often makes it just a bit harder to find the threads I'm interested in. I load up a forum, see three threads I'm interested in. I click the first one, read, press back to click the second one, only now it's bumped further down the page or higher up...
I use other forums that seem to be based on the same software that DONT refresh when I click back. Is there some sort of user setting I can check to prevent the refresh? If it matters, I'm running Firefox 1.5
