Q&A on Non-Moderation Matters (Mechanics, How-To, etc.)

Who thought it was a good idea to let a web page break the back button? Currently investigating*, but clicking through to bb article, then later using the back button to return to the bbs can instead lead to a whole new page of… content. (“before you go, check out blah blah blah”)

*new incognito window, clicking through then using [alt-leftarrow] to go back triggered the behavior the first time. Every subsequent test worked normally. Another tab in this window I used the back button itself and it was hijacked again, even though two minutes ago I tried every combination of clicking through and hitting back to no avail. Ugh, I’m done testing.

edit: not disappointed, but definitely changing my bb navigation methods
