Ability to use the 'Back' button

Just logged on to find my character had been killed. He had been attacked by two different natives. Naturally, I was curious, and looked at the first native's profile. I then tried to go back and view the second native's profile, but the combat messages with his name were gone. It would be nice to have the ability to back up one screen and check the other profiles and information on a screen. --Meatiershower 17:17, 10 March 2006 (GMT)

• If using firefox or safari, you can probably middle click (if you have a 3 button mouse), or right click and then "Open in new tab/window". That way the profiles open in other windows and you don't lose the messages. --Simon 18:46, 10 March 2006 (GMT)
  • Yep, that one works with firefox on a right-click.MorkaisChosen 16:11, 16 March 2006 (GMT)
• I don't think there's any way to accomplish this functionality because you are technically reloading the game.cgi page by traveling from it and back to it. The game.cgi is a dynamic page so it won't retain the information if you refresh the page like that. Making all the movement pages static would just become a storage problem when handling static pages for thousands of players. Consider opening profile links in new tabs or new windows as Simon has suggested. (As a side note, in my experience with Firefox, if you stay on the game.cgi page, you can use the back and forward histories to a certain degree.) --Lint 21:46, 10 March 2006 (GMT)
• Sorry, but I don't think this will ever be available for the reason stated above, you can use the workaround though - it should work in any decent browser. --Simon 11:04, 14 April 2006 (BST)
