When I perform a search on this forum and click on one of the results it takes me to the post. So far so good. But when I click on the browser back button to go back to my search results, this is what happens.
First I get this message -
Document Expired
This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox's cache.As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.
If I then click on "Try Again", I get a second message -
To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.
Only when I click on "resend" do I get back to the search results. This doesn't happen on any other forum I visit, nor on the forum I operate, which is also SMF. I've had the version of SMF that's running here (which is outdated I might add ) and I've never had to go through these messages. What is going on here?
Can anyone else verify that this problem happens to them?
Yes.
Thanks Paul.
I wonder why this happens here. I visit many forums including SMF (I have one myself - v2.0.4) and I've never seen that happen when going back to search results. It's pretty aggravating. I wonder if the Admins here can look into the cause. I bet more than myself would appreciate it. Unfortunately, I don't know why it's happening or I'd offer a solution. I could ask for them on the SMF support forum, of which I have an account.
They need to upgrade the SMF software. I've posted a topic about it and I can answer some questions if the Admins are interested, since I am familiar with the process and SMF software.

Let's hope they have time to talk to you and fix this. Meanwhile I can live with right-click + open in new tab...
Do the Admins even read this area? Why haven't they commented on this issue?
This problem needs to be fixed. I was searching for information just today and this document expired issue is really aggravating. Why do they think it's OK to leave as-is? If members can't easily use the results of their search it will only contribute to overposting of problems that have already been solved. That's one thing this forum surely doesn't need.
