Many of the pages on this site have long lists that you have to scroll through to fully read. After you click on a title and read it, you may want to hit your browser's back button to return to the previous page. Unfortunately, when you do this is, it takes you back to the top of the previous page instead of returning to the place on the page that you were at before. You then have to manually scroll down the page to find the place you were at. With some of the pages getting quite long, this is very tedious. Could they fix it so that the back button will return you to the spot you were last at? Other web sites do this, so I know it is possible.

Use tabs. If you have a wheel mouse, middle click with the wheel. That works in at least Firefox.

Thanks for the tip, classicsat. I would still prefer it to just return to the same place automatically.
