Don't know if this has been addressed before. Whenever I click on someone's profile the back function doesn't work. The only choice I have is to click onto the PF main page.

I just tested it clicking on your profile and had no trouble going "back" to this page. So, it doesn't seem to be a general problem. What browser are you using?
