Reading threads...

[arriba]

...I find it annoying to click on to read a thread halfway up the page--after reading the posted comment when I want to go back to continue up(or down)page just where I left off, I find I am taken to the very top and must start all over or search to locate where I left off. How can I prevent this? I figure it must be my settings.

This happens to me too. I am told here it is Firefox but I don't know that.

How about just opening in a new window? I can right click on a post

and it will open in a stand alone window that I can just read all the posts and then just close it down. Maybe this could be a solution?

Firefox

I have just switched to Firefox and had the same problem with IE.

 

[arriba]

I am not sure how to do that

I click on a post, read it then when I click back arrow to return to main thread menu I am at the top, no matter where I was on the page sorry to be so computer unsaavy!

Same problem here. I use IE & it started when I got a new computer with Vista. Once in awhile,

the site works correctly for a few clicks, then it goes back to the very annoying habit of going back to the top of the page.

Interesting that I don't have the problem on any other site, just here.

I put up with that, knowing that it was Netscape. I have now stooped to Explorer & the problem

no longer exists. As does Netscape.

But, it may be a non - Explorer peculiarity, as I do not visit other sites in depth, so cannot relate beyond that.

I never had that problem with IE, but have it now with Firefox.

but only on this site.

Me too ~ I just switched to Firefox too ~ but I would never go back to Explorer ~ I like Firefox

Thanks for this tip, Orchid, it works!

But the messages don't get marked as read. Another anomaly is it doesn't happen if I open a

thread and click on the posts inside the thread. It only happens on the main page.

Me too. Seems to be a Firefox issue.

For a while my solution was to use IE for FinerKitchens and Firefox for everything else, but now I can't get IE to load properly. It's always something...

 

[curious1]

Arriba, since we both have the problem with IE, I wonder if it's some add-on we have in common?

 

[mimi]

Here's my explanation of the problem >>

However, it's been quite a while since I wrote that. I'll do some research and see if some solution has come up.

me that Arriba and I havThanks Mimi, bute the problem with IE. Obviously something in our systems.

 

[curious1]

ummm...frustrating that Arriba and I have the problem in IE. Obviously something in our systems.

 

[mimi]

That *is* weird because it's never been a problem with IE...however...

if you have the most recent version of IE I have **no** problem believing that there's a bug in *that* too! Grrrrrr.

Found a fix for Firefox... (more)

It's (obviously) still a bug in Firefox. Here's an add-on that fixes it (see link below). I've installed it and it seems to work fine.

This won't work for IE.
