How about a feature that automatically takes you to your post so you can read it, like we all do, instead of taking you to the beginning of the thread.

I like that, but even better, would be if the software automatically returned you to the post you just replied to. I'm always having to make a mental note of the post number I'm replying to, so that I can quickly find my place in the thread again.

I used to post at forums that had that feature, and found it to be a real time saver.

On your keyboard there should be buttons for "Home", "Page Up", "Page Down" and "End". After posting and returning to the top of the thread, using the "End" button will take you to the bottom of the page. If there is only one page of replies, your post should be the last one. To return to the post you are replying to, click on the post# under your reply (example: To 22).

If it's a long thread with more than one page and you are replying to a post on page 1, but your post will show up on the last page, go to the last page and use the same technique.

Easy, peazy, lemon squeezy!

To get back to your place in the thread, just click the back button a few times. That will take you back to the FReeper you were replying to. To view your reply, just go below the reply and hit the View Replies link below the one you replied to.
