How many times do we feel that after clicking to know the details of the topic OR after posting a reply ... when we click the back arrow to get back to the beginning of this..
How often do we find it all consumes more time....

HERE IS A TIP TO DO ALL THESE ACTIVITIES FASTER
:) (if you are not doing it already ! )
1. Just right click the mouse on the topic you want
2. Choose 'Open in new window'
3. When the matter is over ... Close this page
4. You can even select the earlier page from the Windows DOCK and still open yet another thread in yet another new window.

Are you not more comfortable ? :)
 
I think I've read that before, but had totally forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. BTW, on the same subject, I've noted that on some web sites, when you click on a link, it will appear in the same window; on others it will appear in another window but on subsequent clicks on other links in the first window, the link will appear in the same (second) window; finally on some sites it always brings up a new window. What setting is being used? And can you override what the HTML is doing? I hate having to constantly close windows or use back and have to wait for the window to refresh. It'd be ideal if you could force your system to behave as you wanted rather than have to obey some other programmer's desires. B-)

This is all done in HTML link tags. I do not think you can set this in your browser.

The tag used is (TARGET = <whereever yu want it to appear>)

They cling emotionally to code and fix development rather than choosing practices based on analytical assesments of what works best.
