99% of the time if I am viewing a message from the results of a forum search and click Internet Explorer's "back" button to return to the search result list I received the error "Warning: Page has Expired." I've been experiencing this problem for a while with IE 6, 5.5, and maybe even 5. Does anyone know why this occurs and how I might solve it? Perhaps an IE setting or something? My problem is not unique to this forum software so I assume it's something on my end.

There is nothing wrong either on your side or the web page. This is how some servers are built.
My suggestion, don't use back/forward buttons, instead open the results in new windows, an easy way to do this is by holding down the shift key when clicking on a link, or by right click on the link and selecting open in new window.

Thanks for your answer. It's really dissapointing because I try to be a good forum citizen and search before posting a question. I recently figured out that right clicking and choosing to open a new window seemed to work but I don't always remember, thus I lose the search results previously obtained. I didn't know about holding down the shift key while clicking a link. Maybe I can remember that.
