My "back" button is working differently...

I'm reading thru a long thread.

One post is a reply to reply #xy. I click on the upper right where is says "Reply #xy" and it takes me to "reply #xy."

But here's where it changed. Used to be, I could click the "back arrow" and that would take me back to the post that was replying to "reply#xy".

But now... that back arrow takes me to the top of the thread instead and I have to scroll down to find my place.

Did that make sense?

Scan down to find threads that interest me. After reading an “interesting thread,” I hit back arrow which used to take me back to where I was in “Latest Thread” listing.

Lately, the back arrow takes me to “My Posts” or back to the top of “Latest Threads.” Thought I lost my mind, but sounds similar to your issue.

This happens on my desktop, but not tablet. Probably have lost most of mind, or have permanently anesthesized it.

Good to know it's not just me.

I'm on a laptop if that makes any difference to the powers that be.
