Why does the back button on my iPhone take me back to search results of three days ago?

It does it every bloody time! I select a thread, read it, click back to the search results and the date of the most recent comment on every thread says e.g. 31st Jan instead of today's date of 3rd Feb.

Is it a site thing cos I'm sure I haven't noticed it anywhere else.

Help please!

It does this to me too. Infuriating!

Hi, Sorry about this. We'll investigate what's going on. Are you using the regular version of the site, or the mobile-specific one?

Looks like this might be an apple problem unfortunately....

This has been mentioned before. I use MN mobile and it happens a lot.

This happens to me too although not all the time for some weird reason! I have an iPhone too and use the mobile site.

Yes me too. I thought it was because the old page was cached or something

<disclaimer- I don't know what cached is but expect it to be kind of saved somehow>

Me too - I assumed it was just one of those things, but now people mention it it is actually quite annoying.

Thanks Tech it might well be an Apple thing, wouldn't be surprised!

I'm using the regular site.

I just remembered that someone said you can fix it by clearing your history. But it doesn't last long!

Oh right, thanks, will give it a try.
