BS: Down we go

Perhaps this post should be "tech" but, why is it that whenever I read a post (any post) Mudcat takes me down to the end of the thread list and I have to scroll back up again to get where I was.

This is most disconcerting as I seldom can remember where I was in the first place.

FWIW, I always use the "Back Button" (top left corner in IE) which takes me back to where I was.

?? Not sure exactly what you say is happening, Bert. Is this after you read a 'post' and go back to thread list?

It sounds like a browser issue, not a Mudcat issue to me. Different versions of Opera had different behaviors when I returned to the threads.

The thread drift button is my favorite, like last night when athunderstorm hit with such ferocity that a hoaf second before the explosive lightning strike you could hear an electric fizz shooting out of the earth. Each strike literally blew chunks of earth and trees into a shower of shrapnel.

I always use the right button - 'open in new tab' - I have several windows open at once, keeping the original thread list open until I finish checking thru it. If I post in a thread - it usually opens the thread list at the top of either the BS or other list - depending on what the thread was - Firefox V2 on Win98SE - but my SpeedDial plugin will only open ins a new window, not new tabs - irrespective of what settings I use!
