This is by design. Their links contain the code
target="_blank"
which tells the browser to open a new window.
When I am done reading that page and close it, and click back in the
window open on the fark site very often the location I am at in that
page has somehow changed. Often I am taken to the bottom of the page
but sometimes it seems random. The problem doesn't seem to occur
every time.
What exactly does "click back" mean? When I close the second window, the
main window reappears exactly as I left it. I don't need to click the
"back" button (is that what you mean?) because clicking the link to open
a new window doesn't count as navigating "forward." It's more like
taking both forks in a road; if you close one fork, the other is still
there.
This reminds me of a similar problem that I had with wikipedia a
while back with clicking on pictures and then the back button. When I
did that it would almost always return me to the top of the wikipedia
page no matter where on the page the picture had been. But I think
this was a few versions back.
That could happen if you navigate within a page by clicking a link. If
you look at the URL, you'll see something with a pound sign indicating
that you've followed a link to a bookmark within the page. For example,
if you go to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea>, scroll down to
the table of contents and click "History," it takes you to
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea#History>. That counts as a
different URL, and the browser counts it as navigating "forward." If you
then click the "back" button, it will return you to
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea>.
