Whenever I make a post I cant just go back by clicking the arrow button back, I have to go all the way home and start all over again. Is this something that can be fixed. When I click the arrow to go back it just reloads the same post page
Or sometimes it will automatically just bring me back to the home page.

If you want to see your own post, don't go all the way back, just stay in that forum. The last post will be on top. After posting, you may need to scroll down.

Up by your name you should see two choices-

Quote

Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

These are very useful.
In the Info Center near the bottom of the home page, in Forum Stats is another useful link-

Quote

View the most recent posts on the forum

When on the home page, clicking the links just under the menu bar will take you to a refreshed home page and topics with posts and responses will show icons to tell you which ones you haven't read.

I go to the "Jump To" selection at the bottomof each page -- to stay in the forum just click GO and you will be right in the forum  you you were in before you posted.

More than one way to skin a cat!
When I encounter a new forum software, I have to poke around it a bit to see the different ways to navigate.
