Pressing back button in desktop browser after selecting "see their activity" on a user profile doesn't take you back correctly

Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened?

Go to somebody else's profile. Press the "see their activity" button, then press the back button in your browser. Im on Chrome on Win 7 if that matters. 

 

What happened?

The "all activity" page stays up and you aren't returned to their profile homepage. 

 

What did you expect to happen?

To see their profile homepage, because that is the page I was on prior to the button press. 

 

Link to a page where it happened, if applicable: 

Any user profile with activity

Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: 

 

Any other relevant details:

The URL changes to the proper one, as in the one previously, but you can't see their basic profile without pressing the "View profile" button where the "See their activity" button was on the previous page.

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

This bug resolves itself after using "View Profile" once. Consistently reproducible with the following steps:

  1. From the Forum Index, open Inspect Element
  2. Chrome (91.0.4472.77): Navigate to the Application tab
    Firefox (89.0B15): Navigate to the Storage tab
  3. Clear Session Storage > https://linustechtips.com
  4. Access any user profile
  5. Click "See their activity"
  6. Attempt to use the back button

I started in the index, and did exactly as you said, no change.

Interesting, I spotted this in the latest beta release, but didn't realise that it applies to the current release too. I reported it to IPS for the beta release, so it should be fixed in the next major update, some time later in the year.

So I know jack shit about website development, what does IPS mean in this context?

The forum software, I think. Invision Community.

 

This is repeatable in Windows 10 21H1 and Google Chrome, Edge (eww) and Opera GX

As Someone with the username “</TheCoder2019_”, my coding skills are atrocious.

Here are my specs:

Spoiler

 

MSI PRO-VLH H310M

Intel Core i3-8100 (Thanks, @Schnoz!)

GTX 1060 OC 3GB or Intel UHD 630

16GB (2x8) Cosair Vengeance LPX CL16 - 2400MHz

GAMDIAS Argus M1

 

An old friend of mine - Intel stock cooler (temps through the roof like 60 C under load)

 

 

Linux Apps you NEED!

Spoiler

tmux

dhcpd

git

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi! I love RGB! Who doesn't? Karens that don't have colorful lights on their Facebook page

Yep, tested it on Chrome 90.0.4430.212 and I can repeat the bug. If I go to my profile, look at My Activity, hit the back button once, it'll put the link to my profile in the link bar, but the screen won't change. If I hit it again I end up wherever I was 2 pages ago.

They're the people who build this forum software.
