Latest files tab

[RattleAndGrind]

Truth in advertising dictates that I tell you that I am a newbie. If this is in the wrong place, please be gentle.

 

I was just browsing the Latest Files tab on the Fallout 4 opening page (home page?). I have a couple of concerns about the mechanics associated with this tab and its subsequent drill down facilities.

 

First. When I open the Link to a file, the Images Tab for the mod is opened. I would expect to see Description Tab opened.

 

Second. After I view the data about a mod, I must use my browsers "previous page" functionality to return to the list of files.

 

Third, Upon returning to the list of files, I am returned to the beginning of the list. I would expect to be returned to the last page I left from.

 

Thank you for listening.

The first one is actually due to you clicking the image instead of the text. This, purposely, brings you to the image tab instead of the description.

 

I don't know how it'll be with the new design once it's out. But chances are good it will be better, more intuitive to most.

 

The other things are due to everything happening via Ajax. There's no chance your browser history can even know how Ajax processes changed the page before you left it. They introduced a changing URL with Ajax parameters included, so browser history would also catch Ajax actions, but it seems the list page number you were on before you went somewhere else is not among them.

 

 

I for one always right-click a mod and open in a new tab, when it's given I want to continue browsing through the list afterwards.

I just went to verify and clicking on the text is not possible. You can only click the picture. So that ain't it.

Sorry, I must've expressed it wrong. I meant the title link above the image, not the small description excerpt below, that's only optional and not always shown anyways.

AH HA! Mystery solved. Thanks.
