RFE: Buggy Javascript

Hi folks, just a quick little peeve of mine:

I really hate the Javascript on this page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/GirlGenius

Every time I click on a link and then return to the page (just using the Back button), the section I have open collapses anew and makes me start over again. It's really really inconvenient. Hopefully someone can make time to look at this and come up with a fix.

Thanks for reading!

Yeah, seeing that too.

Folders collapse on Back. That's how it's worked since forever.

Or opens them all, when you've set the profile to "All folders open".

It could technically be solved by having the javascript store (per-page) cookie data indicating which folders were last open and shut....

I think most people simply open a new page in a new tab/window if they want to keep the folder state of the original page.

Not a bug; maybe a feature request. Probably a low priority one.

Seems like no, so closing.
