| Very cool but the back button is very buggy.
| asynchronousx wrote:
| It pushed to the browser history too much, so the back button

| echoangle wrote:
| I think the problem isn't really pushing the browser history,

| back. So from the desktop, I open 3 windows after each other
| but when going back, I get 3 times the Emory desktop. When
| directly opening the 3 steps from the history, it works
| though. On safari on iOS.

|
| Will have a look after dinner.

| Interesting, works on my end but I'll admit its slightly weird.

| It should automatically make a POST to mailchimp and and open a
| new page showing your successful email list subscription.
|
| I'd be curious what is happening in your network tab or if the
| navigation to the mailchimp success page is disabled somehow.
|
| Let me know your browser and system anyway, would be much
| appreciated! Thanks for looking nonetheless!

| I love it. You made my day, thanks.
