Refresh Causes Unexpected Behavior at New FT
Hello!
When I am viewing a page somewhere within FlyerTalk Miles and press the Refresh button, it takes me back two layers to http://www.flyertalk.com/milesfr.shtml
This is not the expected result when you Refresh a page, and previous FT software didn't have this annoying bug.

Here is a tip, maybe it will help you (if you are a PC user). Instead of clicking on refresh, right click ON THE PART OF THE PAGE YOU WANT TO REFRESH, and then click on the refresh option form the drop down menu that appears. This will refresh the window frame you are in, and not the master frame which contains several frames at one time.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.

It comes from using a frame enviroment and differs from browser to browser. It was the first thing on the tech folks plate this morning and while they did sya they could fix most of it, it would nver be fully resolved because of the variety of versions of browsers and of course operating systems.... But glad to hear that we've addressed at least one members challenge.

Randy - its not completely solved, I just had a similar experience as the one described at the top of this thread.
Specifically, I was browsing FlyterTalk Travel sub-forum, and hence my URI was set to http://www.flyertalk.com/travelfr.shtml, I then changed to a diff forum using the drop-down list ("Additional FlyerTalk Forums"), but the URI in my browser never did, so refresh placed me back into ther originally-visited Forum.
I, too, don't think this problem can be completely fixed, but mine is IE 5.5 on NT 4.0 SP 6, pretty modern stuff.
P.S. BTW, JRF's idea did not seem to work, either (placing focus on a sub-frame).

JRF thank you very much!!!! I always had that problem and thought it was my internetprovider - the right click thing sure works for me now (also on other sites that I had that problem with)

Glad I could be of help!
If anyone else still has problems with the right click method, there are a few updated IE files that help solve the problem (even though you may have the newest version of IE.) It is worth checking www.windowsupdate.com to see if there are any IE5 items that still appear on the list to install.
