[albatross-users] pagination question

I have a strange problem with pagination.  I saw a posting from a couple 
months ago for a similar question, but I didn't see an solution.

Here's the behavior that I'm seeing.
I have categories that each contain multiple items.  When I click on a 
category, it shows me the items, and I have pagination set at 8 items.  
At first glance, it seemed that everything was working perfectly.  When 
I click on a category with more than 8 items, the "next page" link shows 
up, and I can move to the next 8 items.  Then my "previous page" link 
shows up and that works correctly as well.  If I click on a category 
with fewer than 8 items, then there is no "next page" or "previous page" 
link, as I would expect.

The problem shows up when I first click on a category with more than 8 
items.  Then I click on my "next page" link.  (So, I'm looking at items 
9 - 16).  Then I use my browsers "Back" button to return my category 
listing page.  If I now choose a different category, then the items that 
show up will be items 9 - 16 (not items 1 - 8 as I would expect).  And, 
if that category has fewer than 8 items, it will show me a blank page 
with only a "previous page" link.

Do I have to do something to reset my list iterator?  Am I forgetting to 
do something to make it start at the beginning of the list?

Thanks,
Dan Bergan
