XPages Forum: Design suggestions

Perhaps I just haven't figured out how to use the forum properly, but a couple of things seem to be missing in the navigation or not working as expected.

If I'm in looking at the various responses to a post, there's no way to get back to either my search results, or the particular page I was on when I started reviewing the post & responses. If I click the browser back button, I seem to always get returned to Page 1.
I'd also like to see a breadcrumb so you can click back to any level when you're x-levels deep in the response hierarchy of a post.
And, I'd like to be able to return to the page I was on either in my search results or whichever view I'm on. Already with the volume of content in the forum, always being sent back to Page 1 is not cool.

Thanks, and if there's some basic feature that provides the above, please point me to it. If it's there, then it's not obvious when using the Db so maybe that could be addressed in the design as well.
