"My threads" and "submit reply (return to forum)"

[Robert]

When I open a thread from the 'my threads' view,
and I reply and press the "submit reply (return to forum)" button, it doesn't bring me back to the 'my threads' forum but to the forum in which the thread I replied to belongs to.

I can see why that happens, but it's not very handy....

Well it's not a return to 'my threads' feature it's a return to forum one.

Shift+Click on the link to reply in a new browser window. That way "My Threads" will remain open. Or just use the back button a few times, or click on the "my threads" link at the top of every page again... Jeesh, it's not that hard!

[Robert]

Of course there are easy solutions
And life will not end if the 'return to forum' will not 'return to my threads'

But things would be better if it did though

[DrSpike]

Maybe, but many will feel Mark should spend his finite time on actual problems.

Didn't know that "shift-click" would post in a new window (duh!). I usually just right-click any thread I jump to from My Threads (displaying the thread in a fresh window) so I can reply without losing My Threads.

So do I. I just mention something that doesn't go right imho. I don't claim this is the most important thing Markos should focus on.

[DrSpike]

Good.

Case closed.

[Robert]

Not before Markos declares it's on his low-priority list and it'll be done before 2004 ends

it will be the next plus benefit

I usually press back three times after a post. The good thing about that compare to open a new window is it automatically refresh when you go back so you get to see the newest post I think.

That'll surely make me renew my plus-membership next year!

That's Markese for "never".

[Robert]

No it's not.
Markos, tell him it's not

[MarkG]

it's not
