When using the search function, how do I go back to the list of related thread titles after clicking on one of them and reading the thread. If I click the browser "back" button I have to re-type my search words and repeat every time I want to look at a different thread.

There must be an easier way?????

when you press back they page fails to load, just press f5 key, they reappear.

Or keep the origional search results open and right click on the threads you want and open it in a new tab....

In IE, pressing the middle mouse button will open the link to a new Tab, also if you only have 2 buttons on your mouse, pressing control while left-clicking the link will have the same effect.

HTH.

In firefox it asks if you want to resend and if you chose to re-send you get the list again. Or rather than clickng a link right click and go (open in new tab).

the mouse only does that if thats how you've got your mouse set up. my middle button scrolls the page.

but right click on the link, and click open in new tab works for me

Right click and open in a new window. I search using google because it is a better search engine. Put site:www.locostbuilders.co.uk in your search string and google will only search on this web site.

Weird, I've not set mine up but it does as you both say. If I click the middle button it scrolls the page, but if I hover the cursor over a link and middle-click it opens the link in a new tab

Or click back, refresh, re-try.
