TC: 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.

Wf: 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.

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!

I know those tricks, Jelly, but it would be sorta nice if I didn’t have to resort to them.

Automatically returning to where you left off, would make posting here a much smoother experience.
