[imp] Use of Back Button in IMP & Vanishing Left Nav

[Eugene Kerner]

My 2 bobs worth again ...

To my fellow developers out there: "Dont use the back button" is not a 
solution.

So many websites now are breaking the back button with things like ajax, and 
then rather than fixing their mistake they are sayiong saying "stuff it the 
user shouldnt use the back button".
But guess what, the user will use the back button, so all you are doing is 
making your site or application dodgy and unprofessional.
The biggest offender is facebook.

Thanks,
Eugene.
