Suggestion

The "cancel" button under the Message Text box redraws a brand new page, which adds an extra page in history identical to the last page viewed(thread).

If the "cancel" button acted like a history.back then it would be faster to go back to the forum thread listing page.

This may not sound too clear now, but if there is a need I'll repeat when I wake up.

You mean the cancel should draw us back to the list of threads instead of this message?

Cool.

Almost that, but your way could work too.

As it is it works like this:

Page 1 - List of threads
Page 2 - Posts in a thread
Page 3 - Reply to thread(where you change your mind and press the cancel button)
Page 4 - Newly redrawn Posts in a thread.

So now you're in page 4 and in order to go back to the list of threads you have to go to 3 then to 2 and then to 1.

What I suggested was that instead of creating page 4, that the cancel button sends you back to page 2. There you will have a choice to re-read the thread or just take one step back to the list of threads instead of taking 3 steps back to the list of threads.

Either way, the page you see after the cancel is pressed is the same. The difference is that the history is smaller.

It's an idea, but welcome to the world of browser problems. This is not done due to browser incompatiblities.
