Now you've updated with this information, I'm not sure what's going on here. I believe that the action you're reporting as an error is actually the expected behavior.

If I go to the Latest page, then open a thread, then use the back button in my browser to return to the Latest page, I get the previous version of the Latest page -- it doesn't update until I manually click the refresh button. But as far as I know, that's the way it's always worked, and that's the way it's supposed to work.

So now I'm slightly confounded because I never really thought about this until you brought it up... but I'm pretty sure that for me, hitting back in my browser never auto-refreshes the page I'm going back to. Maybe other folks can weigh in with how it works for them?
