What Am I Doing??

Ball peen hammer? If your going to destroy your computer, do it with style. Use a sledge hammer.[}:)][(-D]

What I do (in IE on a Mac) is hit 'back' more than once after I post the reply. I have the browser set to 'cache pages', so this takes me back (past the now-obsolete view of the page I just posted from) to the page (of trains.com - railroads) I left. Then I go up and hit 'refresh' which loads that main page with all the new posts and times that have come in since I left, automagically.

I confess that when I want to look at multiple forums, I open a new page for each (going to the history to set its URL), and then minimize the windows of the ones I'm not reading. On a Mac running OS X these appear as separate icons in my 'dock' [note; isn't it interesting that on a QWERTY keyboard when you're trying to type 'dock' fast you can get first '****' and then '***'? ;-O] and I can click on these to maximize them, then hit refre***o bring their content up to date. Windows has a similar facility across the bottom but to me it doesn't work as sweetly.

When trains.com is doing its little late-night delays with ads.kalmbach.com, this method can save considerable

Thanks for the replies! Guess the computer is safe from my ball peen hammer - for now.

Go to the ladder at the top of the page....double click the 'railroads' identity...that will take you to the first page of the 'railroads' forum....to access pages other than page 1 you have to go to the bottom of the first page index and double click on the desired page.

Cumbersome, but that is the way it is.

Simple, just click the Railroads tab for the forum selection and it will return you to page 1 of the posts. If you want to go to where you left off, just click the page number and the bottem of the page.

Ok, I read thru the pages on this forum, post a reply, now, how do I get back to the same page I had left ? If I use the back button, I see my reply typing, and so on. What I usually end up doing is go to my "favorites" list, then, click onto trains.com which returns me to the 1st page of the forum, but, I may have been replying to a topic on page 5! [banghead]
