OK, so why wouldn't it be better that at this moment (after I've
navigated to xyz.com) the forward button still offer ghi.com and
jkl.com ?
Say you browse (in one IE window) to abc.com | def.com | ghi.com |
jkl.com.
Then you use the Back button to return to the second page you'd visited
(i.e., def.com), and then you open a link to xyz.com in this same window:
The Forward button cannot offer ghi.com or jkl.com because your browsing
has changed direction (i.e., abc.com | def.com | xyz.com).
Keep in mind that IE History gives you a way to return to pages you'd
visited before.

Could you please be more explicit ? I don't know what to make of this
sentence.
I know the idea is that since you didn't press back, you don't have a
forward to go to. That is, forward just undoes one or more backs. OK,
but I mean, wouldn't it be better if they let the forward pages as
they are when going to a new page ? What's the point of losing them ?

Why does IE empty the forward pages list when navigating to a new
page ? Sometimes this can be annoying.
I can't comment on that other than to say that IE doesn't do it.

OK, I think I understand your position. Thank you.
But, if you'd like to experiment how it would be if IE did as I said,
you can use this:
http://www.download.com/IntelNav/3000-12777_4-10844282.html?tag=lst-1&cdlPid=10844283
It's a little IE toolbar written by, you've probably guessed it,
myself. I hope you'll forgive my little publicity stunt.
There's no need to worry about malware, it's on Download.com so it's
thoroughly tested. Also, there are no pop-ups, ads, not even an auto-
update feature.
If you become interested in more details, you're most welcome to visit
http://www.intelnav.com
Again, no need to worry about security, it's just text and pictures so
you can go with scripting etc. disabled.

<sigh> I should have guessed that you had an axe to grind!
