"Go back" problem

Postby wadko » Tue Nov 22, 2011 1:12 pm

Every time I click "go back" button on my Firefox I get those annoying messages that all the informations are needed to be load again. Never had this message so often. So, could you please put a "go back" button on every site or (if you changed something) make the site not to load all informations again?

This issue I got today, yesterday was fine (without this stupid message).

Just started for me this morning. Very annoying. I assume it has to do with some recent changes.

If we're talking about the same thing, I've been experiencing these issues for months. I was under the impression that this was intentional to fix security issues caused by using the browser back button. Since it doesn't happen every time, this might not be the most plausible explanation though. Perhaps another side effect of the auto-refresh function?

I can give one very specific example because I do this often and today found the same "resend or cancel" message that people are complaining about. Clicking the People tab, viewing an individual, then using the browser's back button to get back to the list of people. This used to work up until today without any interruptions. Happened at home and work, using Firefox on both machines.

To explain this as a "usability" issue: I do this with certain chars almost every day to make sure people aren't starving. It takes MUCH longer having to click through the alert to resend all information after looking at each char in a town.

There is a 'back' button on a person's page. I use that. But some things don't have one. Like looking at a body or trying to enter a building you have no key for and so on. They should probably all have ingame back buttons so no one needs to use the browser back function.

But part of the nice thing with the browser back function was that you could start a post, check someone's clothes or description quickly and then continue your post.

Worse yet, if you try to post and something did not go quite right with it, there is no way to go back and "retrieve" it. This was a much-welcome safety net after dealing with the lack of one on FTO.

Even Chrome is throwing "Permission to resubmit the page" messages! That's never happened before, and it's messing me up. You know it's bad when you WANT to see the "Not allowed to view other player's events" error, because at least it's a Cantr page.

I don't notice it as much on the Droid as I do the PC. I get the message: "The page you are trying to view contains data that has already been seen ("POSTDATA"). If you resend the data, any action the form on the page carried out (such as a search or online purchase) will be repeated." It's not as noticeable to me since that happened on certain pages anyway, even though it happens on every page now (when trying to use the browser back button).
