Hi,

I'm stuck on an issue and I can't figure out what to do. I have a standard albums / images setup, ajax-ed, with transitions between albums and images, and a working back button. However, I'm not sure whether to have the transitions when the back-button is pressed / change of hash:

Argument for:
- When the back-button is pressed, the transitions are clearly "reverse" transitions and so makes it clear to the user they are indeed going back exactly the way they came

Argument against:
- If they are coming directly from a bookmark or from a search engine, they will see the intermediate pages and transitions. For example, if they go straight to

/#/album-name/photo-name/

Then in fact they will see the transitions /#/ -> /#/album-name/ - > /#/album-name/photo-name/

Which might be quite confusing if they were expecting to go straight to the photo.

I wonder what people think is the best option...?

Michal.
