Second try at posting this. Timed out the first time.
When I am browsing PF and I use my back button (firefox), the page that I'm going back to refreshes. It has not always been that way, and most other forums that I visit do not do that. In other words, using the back button fetches the previous page that is stored in the cache. I'm not sure about the timing, but I think it changed around the time PF moved to a new server. I'm no expert with this stuff, but it seems to me that refreshing the page this way would increase bandwidth for the server and slow things down. I would prefer to get my previous page immediately from the cache rather than wait for the page to reload. And if I need the page updated, all I have to do is manually refresh it. I've noticed others posting about the forums being slow and I was just wondering if this could be contributing to the problem.
