The POST thing was the result of late night meltdowns and desperation.
I tend to just try stupid things when i'm working through an issue
like this, just seeing what the application is capable of doing. I've
switched it all back to GET.
I found the answer around 1 this morning. You are exactly right, I
needed to capture the query string and place it in the "next" and
"previous" page links. Here's how I went about doing that, just in
case someone else runs into this issue:
query_string = request.GET.copy()
and then in the dict:
'query_string': query_string.urlencode()
