Unfortunately that "remembering to not hit the back button" thing has foiled me many a time on various websites

I mean, fair, if folks don't want to go that route, we don't have to. But it's an option in the tool box.

Saving state with the back button option is a lot more of a pain.

To the point I just wouldn't try coding it.

It's just I've found one of the bigger issues I had with actually using the first front end I coded in practice is when clicking about to open the editor or clicking to pull up individual cards the state of the item list would reset automatically and I'd have to re-enter and filters I'd put in previously.

Which gets even more pronounced an issue when looking at character sheets.

sometimes you'll want to filter to a series and look at each character one at a time, resetting the filter each time becomes a chore.

If others wish to chime in, you're more than welcome to.

Oh, no, no I get you. You don't HAVE to make the back button work perfectly. I'm just saying the number of times I've been logged out of sites because I used the back button on the browser instead of the "BACK" link in the webpage is quite high

This is a ME issue

Well you and a UI issue, but I get you.
