I also posted this on computer questions, but hardly anyone goes there.

Can you folks help me on these things:

1. I look at/reply to a post; hit the back button twice to take me back to medical/general, etc. As of today, it is NOT taking me back to current screen; it will show a screen with info from 1 week ago.

example; Treepatrol updated his 5-24-06; when I return it shows his 5-18 date!

So I'm having to REFRESH PER POST! TIME CONSUMING.

2. Earlier this week, ALL the posts on every board are UNDERLINED; are yours?

I lost ALL my software programs ealier this week when trying to get HP printer icon updates back on my pc! Used HP RECOVERY...it DELETED ALL MY SOFTWARE! What a dummy! No one to help me at home, I used the book without success, & took a gamble. I've been reinstalling programs all week and not all on here yet!

3. Can't remember the other one I was going to ask about....shucks! [Mad]

Thank you for your help especially on no. 1. I normally use the DOWN arrow showing medical/general and then hit back button if main board of posts doesn't show up. Never had any problems before. anyone else?

betty,

I'm not sure I understand your questions.

But will give it a try.

For example, from here, where I am replying to your post, if I hit my back button two times, I get taken back to the General Forum page listing all the General Forum topics. Current dates.

Yes, all of the topic titles are underlined.

I feel I probably misunderstood your questions. Its late and my brain wants sleepy time.

Hopefully someone else will come along with better answers for you.

I do sympathize with you, however. My hard drive crashed a few months ago. Can't believe how much stuff I relied upon that wasn't there anymore [Frown]

Tabby, thank you for responding.

I do not remember all the topic posts underlined; didn't think so until this past week when all my problems started.

I'll check about back button situation since I just got on lymenet to check 2 boards.

Have a safe holiday weekend buckled up with family/friends.

Update: my back button is working correctly today; I'm getting new current info vs. 1 wk. old stuff. whoopie [bow]

Betty- for the last 3 days when i hit the back button i get old information.

So , i hit the refresh button and it corrects the problem.

i think it has something to do with the lymenet server.

so, you are not alone with this problem [Big Grin]

Okay, you guys REALLY need to know about the "shift click" method.

When you want to click on a link, you can open the link in a new window by doing this:

Press down the "shift" button with your left hand,
and left click on the link with the mouse in your right hand.

This opens the link in a new window.
When you're done reading, just click on the x in the upper right corner to get rid of the window.

This saves tons of time.

GOD BLESS YOU CAROL, my timesaver friend! [group hug]

I never knew this; never had a need to learn this before!

Carol, I'm going to copy your "timesaver tip" to my pc questions to COMPUTER section and also to TREEPATROL'S NEWBIE LINKS where there are some computer tips there too! It's too good not to be around forever! [kiss]
