Hi, Jenny - Here's an idea - use this Mixed Format Link (click) to get to the mixed Forum Menu. If you have Microsoft Internet Explore, go to tools/internet opitions, and select the general tab. Then select "current" for your home page. Then you can easily get back to mixed format by just clicking on the "home" icon.
Jeff can do just about anything, so I'm sure he could design a system that would send you back to mixed format after posting, but I don't think there's enough of a market for him to do the work. It'll just cost you a couple of mouse clicks.
