Generally, it's best to go back to the Forum Menu/Forum Home page by clicking the "Forum Home" link within a thread and not using your "back" button. Using the "back" button tends to mess things up in Mudcat.

To avoid reloading the Forum Menu each time, try this:

• From the Forum Menu, right-click the name of the thread you want to read
• Select "open in new window"
• Close the new window when you're done reading, and you'll be back to the Forum Menu
• Click the grey "refresh" button on the Forum Menu every once in a while, so you'll know of new messages since you came online
