when scrolling back and forth through images, whether it be in a gallery, or the comments made on an image, sometimes the >> arrows work, and sometimes they no longer appear.

also, before one was able to start a comment, hit the back button to a previous page, and then return to what wwas being written. now, if the back button is pressed, anything that was written is lost.

The first issue is actually a feature. Each image can be in multiple galleries (it's primary gallery, any parent galleries, the author's gallery). It only knows which gallery to use if you actually came from a gallery. If you go directly to an image (e.g. from the front page), it doesn't known what gallery to use when going to teh "next" image. Of course I suppose it would be possible to just assume the primary gallery if all else fails.

The comment back/forth issue is due to your browser I think. The site really has no control over it because unless you submit the comment (by clicking on the button), the site never actually sees that text.

i had considered that, except this now happens on every computer i've used, whereas before, if i was in the middle of typing something, it would be preserved. i've tried clearing my cache, and all the other neat tricks as well. oh well, not a life or death issue, but when you've written a lengthy comment, PM or whatever, it was handy to be able to back up, reference the item in question, then go forward again and keep typing. just thought it warranted mentioning.

Does every computer include one running Firefox, or is it only IE?

i've never used firefox, but this has happened on at least three seperate machines, and yes, all were running various versions of IE

About the pressing the back button and returning, my text still remains in the box. I use Firefox...umm, i think i use 1.5.0.8

I use Safari, and the text remains there for me also.

My text stays and I am running IE.

Depends on the temperament of my unit...some days it is fine and others the text will magically dissapear. Using Firebox 1.5.0.8

I think it has to do with whether or not the browser has garbage-collected the memory that the text was in. It obviously can't be expected to keep every page that you go to in memory.

If you have to go back while writing comments, copy them first and paste them when you come back to the page. Alternatively, write the comments in Notepad and copy and paste them when you are happy with them.

... or just use a browser with tabs...?
