    Page Return Annoyance

    This is something that has annoyed me since the last major revision of the forum but I had decided to live with it instead of complain. Well, it's raining and I'm bored so I figured I would bring it up.

    When returning to a previous page, the location on the page you return to is not restored. In other words, if you were 20 topics down on the list when you clicked to read the posts in that topic, upon returning to the list of topics you return to the top of the page rather than to the location from where you detoured.

    Then, again, maybe it's just me or my setup.

     Yeah, that is a pain. To work around it you can right-click the link and choose "open link in a new tab". Then when you close that tab you're still in the same place on the old tab.

    Re: Page Return Annoyance

     Thanks, goon.  I'll probably have to update my browser, however, right clicking on "Open in a new Window" seems to work also.

    A band-aid is next best to a fix.

     

    Now, can you stop the rain ?

    That would be every astronomer's dream.

     As of this morning it appears the annoyance has been remedied.  To all concerned - thank you.
