XF 1.5 Page refresh when back button is pressed.

[Bill Stuntz]

In XF, I have to manually refresh the page to update the read/unread status when I back up to a forum from a thread I've viewed. When I press the back button on some MB's, the page automatically refreshes to show that the thread I just viewed is no longer unread. Can XF do that?

This is actually an intentional design decision, as the page can change unexpectedly when refreshing. Plus this makes back/forward navigation faster as it's local.

Any change here would require code changes or possibly an add-on to essentially disable this caching within the browser.

Thanks, Mike. I was afraid you'd say something like that. I don't quite play Whack-a-Mole with the unread indicators, but I bounce around a LOT.
