it's inherit to the browsers.. it's scripted into the dang thing to refresh at the point you were last at.. it's another case of 'dumbing down' by doing what it thinks you want done... thinking for you in other words.. it drives me nuts too..
there are ways to kill it on the server side by scripting in a js or a css.. i'm sure there are more ways, but that is the easiest for a developer to use..
this is just a plop in forum of the open source variety.. it's an antiquated one at that.. whoever the owner, they are more interested in selling adverts than anything else, as that is the only work done to the thing out of the box.. that's fine though- because it gives us a place to share for the cost of dealing with adverts.. not a bad trade..
for the specific 'problem' you are having, HeyYou, before loading another page- scroll to the top and select something near it.. then refresh/reload the page, and it will load to that point instead of the lower anchor (or where you were last at)..
