MATLAB Central Newsreader - Mathworks website back button

Mathworks website back button

Hi there,

Just a website interface request (since the bug list seems
linked only to matlab releases)....

At the moment when you use the back button to navigate the
file exchange, you are always returned to the top of the
page. This is a little annoying when you're browsing
submissions... you constantly need to scroll down to get to
the place in the list you're looking for.

A second thing is that if you use the search function, click
on a submission, and then click back to return to your
search results, there is an annoying popup asking if you
really want to resubmit POST data. I'm not sure if this is
easy to avoid, but it would certainly be useful if it could
be worked around.

Thanks,
Sven.
(oh, and I'm using the latest firefox, winxp)

I am not sure that this is the place to make the
suggestions, but I will second them!
