I don't see this. Are you sure you aren't just hitting the back button?
Whether I hit the back button or not, was never an issue before.
Originally, when I clicked on the thread, it would unhighlight no matter what my next action was.
If you don't think it is the site or a change in the site code (or DDOS causing delay issues),
what browser are you using? I may have updated my Firefox to 47.0.1 about 2-3 days ago.
It is very annoying and have never seen this in over 2 years.
The back button behavior depends on the browser. For chrome (which is what I use), it caches the previous pages, and pressing the back button would load the cached page, so I would still see the highlight and the old time. I would have to reload the page for the page to actually be gotten from the site.
Your browser may have not used a cache, so it would reload the page when you hit the back button. Perhaps something was changed so that it now does use a cache. Try clicking the back button and looking at the time in the upper right hand corner. Does it move forward or backwards? If it moves backwards, then you are seeing a cached page.
Edit: It may be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567365 which was fixed in the latest version of firefox.
Yes, it seems that it is most likely related to my updated browser.
(To answer your question, yes, time goes backwards.)
Thanks.
