OK, SAP is not the only website that lets people post comments. The behavior you see on the SAP Community Website is not typical.
The expected behavior is thus:-
1. Choose a blog from the list.
2. Write the comment. Publish the comment.
3. Press BACK
4. You are then back on the list of blogs on the exact same page you were before you picked a blog.
From a "principal of least astonishment perspective" what you expect when you press BACK is to get to the screen you were on before. Let us say I am in SAP and am on a list of sales orders. I drill into one, change it, press BACK. I get asked if I want to save my changes, I say yes, then I am back on the list of sales orders. At no point does pressing a button do nothing at all.
It is the same if I am in the file explorer in Microsoft and open a spreadsheet from a list of files in the folder. I update the spreadsheet, save it, close the spreadsheet and I am back where I was before, looking at a list of files. At no point does pressing a button do nothing at all.
I can even see that on a website things are more difficult, but at the very minimum I can accept pressing BACK once might take me to the state of the blog before I had posted my comment, and then the second BACK takes me back to the list. But several times during this process pressing the BACK button has no perceptible effect whatsoever.
the expectation that I would have is that instead of 5 times back I would expect maximum 2. Because clicking the "add comment" button keeps me still on the same page. When I submit the comment, then the page is re-loaded with the URL changing to link directly to the comment. I've just tried it from the gregor.wolf#content:blogposts. There it worked as I wish it does. bfeeb8ed7fa64a7d95efc21f74a8c135 can you please post a link to the list of blogs where you face the issue?
I am not mad! I just managed to replicate the situation.
The trick is to drill into the blog before logging in. If you log in whilst on the blog itself, then post a comment the system gets all confused, and it takes pressing the BACK arrow five times to get back to the list of blogs, two of those button presses seem to have no effect.
Why aren't I always logged in? Because the universal ID does not work for the SAP Community yet, so if I have the browser auto-remember by "P" number I cannot log into the SAP Support Portal. That's another problem entirely and it is being addressed.
