When I am done reading an article and hit my back button

the forum starts over again and I have to scroll through every thing that was added or passed over to pick up my search. Why doesn't DU go back to where I was in the list?

I have a LG K51 Android using Chrome.

I don't really know. DU4 does not do this for me on any of my devices. However, if I'm on DU3 on my phone and I hit back, sometimes the page reloads (putting me back to the top) and sometimes it doesn't.

It's something to do with type of device, browser, and the way pages are cached in browser memory. It could be different for each device and browser depending on settings.

It's possible that there are ways to prevent this from happening but I'll have to do some more research.
