Pressing back after viewing pictures

This has always been the case since I started using Mumsnet several years ago, but I've only just been arsed to start a thread about it! When I finish reading a thread I press the "back" arrow on my phone to return to the list of threads in that section, except when I've looked at a picture attached to a post I have to press it three times to get back. If I've looked at several pictures it's three times for each one which is crazy, why does it do this MNHQ, why?! Confused

Hi folks

Can you let us know what devices/browsers you're using to access the site?

It's always done that.

I've spotted a new (and sporadic) "feature" though: if you view a picture, click "back", the thread sometimes jump back to a bookmarked post, rather than the post where the picture was embedded. It doesn't always do it, but it can be very annoying when you then have to scroll forward to find your place.

I'm glad other people have noticed it too, because I've never seen it mentioned I was half expecting that it was just me!

I keep meaning to post about this and never getting round to it.

If you view 3/4 photos you end up having to backspace about 8 billion times. V annoying.

It's always done it, no idea why. It's frustrating though
