see https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214558501 for the most previous update.
So now what I've found is that if I used the "GO" button on the DU page it doesn't help at
all. BUT if I use the "Refresh Page" button in my browser's (Firefox) address bar the
"page back" function as I browse through various posts is pleasantly normal. This may be as
good as it gets and that's fine with me!
Thank you all for your patience with me. It's been a big deal to me.

(3,387 posts)I typically, but not always, read DU on a mobile device or tablet. When I hit the back function, the response time is so long I often hit it twice thinking I must have missed or something. Its the same but slightly better on a computer. This has been going on now for maybe 6 months or more? And its not my network. When I go to other sites in the same browsing session, the slow back-button response disappears. Its very annoying, but you sort of made my day by letting me know its not just me either.

When mine tops out (at 1.0 gb), pages get slow to load and videos get slower. I typically clear mine two or three times on a busy day.
Also, in your Tools/Options/Privacy & Security page, I believe "History" must be set for "Remember History" in order to use the "Back" button.

(14,118 posts)my cache hits around 500 meg I clear it. For me that's around every 3 days. I clear my son's
cache every day since he does get to 1gig every 24 hours. I do use the recommended
history settings.
My first clue way back when was that if I were in the DU My Posts or Lounge pages I
never had any trouble.
Thanks for your input.
