I did a search in order to find out how to save VRay materials for later use. Found many “matches” that were no matches. Started reading the first “match” that was no match and wanted to go back to the list to try the next one. But then it says “Page expired”. I consequently have to start all over and retype the query, wait for the list, pick the next one on the list to no avail and so on. Finally I gave up.  
Couls anyone please give a hint as where to find a clear instruction?  
Thanks

Once you have hit the “back” button on you explorer, hit thr “retry” button on the message box that appears and you list will come back.
