The go back arrow button is fubared

[mikeydsc]

Im in the discussion forums and trying to go back 1 page doesnt work properly. Sometimes it just refreshes the page I am on and other times I end up back in my library page. I cant go back to the topic selection page at all without reloading the discussions page.

You really needed more testing of this messed up update.

Originally announced with the beta build of June 16th:
Fixed several issues related to the navigation backstack not working properly.

Now I'm wondering how long it'll take for this to trickle down to stable.

Things like using the search to find topics in the forums and using the back button are still broken. I have to manually enter the same search phrase after every back because it goes to some other page.

You steam folks really forked over the back button inner workings and there are still other areas its broken as well. When are the internal testers going to do their jobs instead of the community at large having to report these broken mechanics?

Pretty stupid that it's still sitting here broken lol.

This is just a suggestion here but hear me out a moment: Have you tried viewing the discussion forums in a real web browser and not in the steam client? It might actually work for you if you did that.

Now why should I have to use a 2nd program to do that? Steam needs to fix the crap they broke. Plain and simple. You can do that if you want but me, no thanks.

No thank you. Steam is a PC client, I should't have to go anywhere else to use it properly.

You don't *HAVE* to do it but at least it would always work for you compared to the steam client that is completely broken right now after the recent updates. Besides that there's no access to spelling correction when typing into the forums, or opening multiple threads and posts in multiple tabs, or bookmarking a specific forum post, etc. Trying to browse the community forums only in the steam client is such a watered down experience vs using a real web browser. I just can't understand why anyone would bother with enduring that experience when we have a significantly more advanced way of doing the same thing.

Browsing the community forums in the steam client is like trying to drive a car that's missing two wheels.

Specifically you: If you were using the community forums in a web browser it would of highlighted how you misspelled shouldn't and given you the option to correct it. The steam client doesn't even do that.

Spell check is one thing that does work in Steam for me. No idea why you saying that its broken. 1st I heard of that.

Well it wasn't there in the old version of the steam client. That might be one of the few actual good things they added in the recent update. I stopped using the steam client at least 5+ years ago because it was awful garbage for anything other than starting a game.

[mikeydsc]

Im not here to debate spell check I could care less about it. It works for the most part, but the back button has been screwed up long enough.

Good night to you.

Go make your own thread to report your issues with the spell check. This is my thread about the back button.

No it turned out you were right and I admit I was wrong: We have spell checking in the new update of the client now and it works (mostly). So I was wrong to write that. I just thought it was still missing since it's been gone so long.

Same issue here. It's driving me insane.

I'm also having problems with parts of this new Steam client opening mostly off screen. A window will pop up for a few seconds but I can only see the very top left corner of the window so have no idea what it actually is before it closes itself.

Or you could just use -vgui while it still works.
Fun fact: the old version of the Steam client that you get that way does have functional spell checking built-in as well. Same place it's been for the last 3 or 4 years. No idea why it doesn't work in your case.

That's another known issue with the client. Specifically with display scaling on hi-DPI screens. Valve could never quite get their math right on it and there's a lot of situations where the scaling 'doubles up.'

This is getting really freaking creepy with you. I'm just posting along in some random steam thread and suddenly you show up out of no where and quote me and try to argue with me again. This is now the 5'th time you've done this. Are you stalking my steam forum post history every day to find every topic I reply in so you can come try to argue with me again? I'm not sure what to do with you but this is really weird. I am tempted today though to go through your post history to find every instance you've done this and report it all to the mods as harassment. It's getting to the point where I can't write anything without fear of you popping up to bother me again. :( I really don't know what your problem is or why you are so fixated on targeting me but I really wish this would stop. :( This is now way beyond casual commenting and seriously even past the "harassment" phase into actual stalking.

Not sure about everyone else, but the back/forward buttons are working for me now.
