Please, allow us to use our "Back" button on the browser to go back to search results. If you do a search and navigate to a result page then click back, you get a "page expired" result. Darn annoying!

Hi Steve and Caylo,
just wanted to let you know I olso have this page expired problem.
The strange thing is that sometimes I dont have this problem and sometimes I do...
I am using internet explorer on windows vista.

I'm glad to see someone else suffering with this problem as well. :)

Caylo, the site expired happens immediately. If I click back after navigating to a search result then I get the issue. I cannot return to the search results page using normal navigation.

I can ctrl-click on the links to open new tabs / windows, but I don't always do that. And, it's precisely when I'm in the midst of a deep search that I'm most likely to forget to hold ctrl when clicking.

fwiw, i'm not seeing this.

* visit http://www.garagegames.com/search
* enter some search term & press return
* click on the first result
* click "back"
--> it returns to the page of search results

firefox 3.0.7 on xp home.

It appears to be the forum search as opposed to the site search that has the page expiry problem. Replicated it instantly with a test forum search, can't replicate it at all with the general site search even after waiting 15 mins before clicking back.

EDIT: Site search includes the search terms in the URL, forum search doesn't. That'll be why they're behaving differently.
