Ahh! Well, sadly (or happily perhaps!) you can't fix that. That's actually what
the 'back' button is supposed to do... this actually comes in handy at times
believe it or not... But if you want to make sure you load the new page, you'll
have to either do:

"back" and then "reload"/"refresh"
OR
click on "home" (or any link that goes to http://www.lugnet.com/)
OR
select it from your list of bookmarks/favorites
OR
type the url in manually

I don't think any browser will reload a page upon hitting a "back" button--
unless perhaps there's a <meta> tag in the HTML that specifies a reload... but
that gets annoying :(
