Bug Report Textbox text disappears if you leave and return to page

[Asmor]

This is something that's been bugging me for a while.

Normally, in Firefox at least, if you enter some text into a form, go to a different page, Firefox will keep the form contents the same when you return to the page you were filling it out at.

For some reason, the form is reset on ENWorld.

It's a minor annoyance, but it would be handy if this could be fixed.

Examples:

You press reply. You enter some text. You press back, to reference something from the previous page. You press forward to go back to your reply. The form is now empty, but should have remained filled in.

Same thing, but instead of intentionally going back you accidentally click a link on the page. You press the back button to go back and continue editing, but your text is now gone.

This is due to vbulletin's security measures to block malicious self submitting forms. Annoying perhaps, but working as designed.
