Fastest way to get back after posting...

Am I missing something. After I post a reply, it seems I have to either click back numerous times, or go up and click 'Discussion' and start over. The problem with the latter is that I end up losing track of what threads have new posts in them because I 'log' back in. Isn't there a way to give a poster a choice to click straight back to viewing the threads in the section you're currently in?

In IE 5.5 there is a tiny down arrow next to the back button if you click that you can see a list of previously visited pages in order (most recent to least recent). I use that to go back several steps at a time. If you use the 'View New Posts' filter, the page you want to get back to after posting is 'Visorcentral.com - Search Results'. I hope I'm making sense - it's Friday and I'm fried.

Made sense to me. That's what I do as well. There's a way to do it in Netscape too, but since I haven't used it in years I don't remember (I think it's on the "Go" menu if such a thing still exists).

I use IE but I think in Netscap you hold down the Back button to get a list like in IE.

Gee whiz, I've been using this computer how long?
Thanks!

PS That means VC is fine just the way it is. I just have to rewire my brain. No problem, as long as I can find my soldering iron.

Opera 5.11 for Windows has the drop-down history list just like IE. Opera 3.62 for BeOS has the history in the address bar, but it works the same.
