please make console, vending, and hacking UIs less awful

yeah and this game is made by nobodies in their free time not web developers (except wire xx)

main point is that this game is janky hell so who really cares if something isn't web 3.0 quality or whatever

Also web developer here, can confirm that this thing is jank. Love it anyway.

Does Byond support jQuery or javascript code? Forgive me, I've never even looked at the code before and I'm on my phone at the moment. So, I can't check.

For a webpage you can use local storage to save the location and revert to it once the page loads.

For a webpage, the browser is what's supposed to take care of remembering scroll positions for you if going forward/back. For something richer (e.g. something with infinite-scroll a la Reddit/Facebook) it's much more complicated, and given how funky BYOND is in general introducing more complexity for the sake of avoiding scrolling down is best done with caution.

In some places, the whole "click thing, whole UI doesn't refresh" aspect has been introduced (see chem dispensers), but this isn't something that's super easy to achieve if you're talking about multiple potentially long pages.
