I use Compuserve, and my mom’s AOL as backup, for my dial up 56k connection. I’m using all my extra CD’s as coasters because I’ve got 260000+ free hours (oh the days when internet access was measured in time…)
I hope this isn’t off topic by the time it has been uploaded
BTW, thanks for all your hard work SB, I love this forum and I spend an inordinate amount of time here every day. I’d be remiss for sure if you weren’t at the helm.
If you have a moment, you can quickly click the [ Preview ] button. I used to spend a lot of extra time copying my replies & pasting them into Notepad “just in case”. The Preview function gets it into the browser quicker and easier.
Yeah I was pretty excited when IE11 came out as well. Now I can download Chrome and Firefox 20% faster on a new install!
Truthfully, I have not tried IE in a LONG time. MS let it stagnate for quite a while and Firefox and Chrome were far superior. A buddy of mine works for MS and keeps telling me that it is competitive now, but I just can’t bring myself to try it. Shared bookmarks between my Chromebook, phone and desktop are pushing me more and more towards Chrome. I have not had any problems with lost posts in Firefox, and I too have a tendency to research and switch tabs a lot while writing things up.
I have a request, if it’s possible. After passing the first page of search results, if you read a thread and hit the back button, it takes you back to the 1st page of search results, no matter what page of results your on. I think you just made an adjustment to a similar situation in recent posts.
There’s always the option of opening in a new tab, if you don’t want the state of the first tab disturbed.
I probably never would have noticed the issue you described, since I’ve long been in the habit of using new tabs instead of expecting ‘back’ to produce the same state as a page was in before. The web hasn’t had reliable ‘back’ behavior since functional javascript got popular and produced “Web 2.0”.
