Perhaps this is the problem to which GW has been referring repeatedly w/ advisories up at the top?

In the meantime, when done w/ a discussion, rather than hitting the back button, try scrolling all the way down to where it offers something like "Return to the Houseplant Forum" & click on that. Same result, different manner of getting there.

Or just use the drop down menu for past pages near the refresh button.

Thanks for the suggestions, pirategirl and taz. I will try them.
