Title: Reading this forum - How to go back to previous page?
Post by: Cynaburst on May 12, 2013, 09:27:47 pm

I am a frequent user of internet forum message boards, but when I use the ANA forum, I can't figure out how to go back to the previous page so I can continue browsing topics in the same forum and I find this incredibly annoying.  Am I missing something? There are no browsing tools at the top of the screen since the web browser's icons are blocked by the framing around the message board.  HELP!

I use the Firefox browser and to go back to a previous page I simply click the 'back' arrow  ‹  in the uppermost left-hand corner of the screen (under the 'Firefox' name in the orange box).  Works for me.

I also have this problem.  I have to go back to home and start all over if I want to get back to the orignal thread.  Glad its not just me!

I use IE, so I don't know if your page looks different, but just above the posts, there's a banner for ANA, then above that it shows the pathway to the thread.

So for this one, it looks like this:

ANA Discussion Forum > General Category > Inquiries > Thread title ("Reading this forum...")

These are all links, so you can click on any of them to return to whatever level you wish.
If you click on ANA Discussion Forum, you'll go back to the main listing of all of the larger categories of folders.
If you click on General Category, you'll see all the folders that fall under that grouping.
If you click on Inquiries, you'll see all the threads under that folder.

Does that help?

There's an alternate method.

Hold down the Shift key when you click on a link (or message topic) and it should open in a new window.

When you are finished and close the window, the first window is still there.
