Its probably our computer but....help!

Don't know what's going on.

Just the last couple of days when I'm in active conversations, if I open a thread, read it and then close it again, the whole active conversations restarts itself. So it means I can't go back to where I was in active conversations. Very annoying if I like the look of the thread under the one I want to look at first! Each time I have to go and find it again.

Am I making sense???? I am not at all technologically literate

mine has always done that
refreshed, even if you go back

open in new tab/page is only solution

Why has it just started doing it though? I've had years of trouble free MNing...

it's alwsays done iot ime
as you say, yopu spot a good thread, when you go back it's gone
maybe a setting??? you using IE or Firefox?
i'll have a think

Thank you

We were on Firefox and I've switched to IE and its gone! Hooray.

You are a genius (It's a bit slower though!)

I'm on firefox, and have NEVER had this problem. When you say you 'close' the thread, how are you doing this? Do you just use the back button on your browser?

I think she means in FF it works OK and in IE the page refreshes when you go back
Not sure why that would happen...but it certainly seems to for me

Yes, when I use the back button it refreshes the whole active conversations, rather than letting me just go back to where I was. In IE its fine, its Firefox that's the problem. Dh has done something though to see if it helps, so will let you know....
