A while back I posted this tip here, but I'm posting it again for anybody that didn't catch it the first time.
My son gave me this tip and it made such a huge difference in how I read posts on this board. I used to click on a topic to open it, then use my back button to return to the list of topics. Each time the list of topics would have to reload on my computer.
Here's the tip: Instead of clicking on the topic you wish to read, right-click on the topic and choose the option to "Open in new Window". This opens a second window with the posts from the topic you chose. After reading or replying to the posts, close the second window. Your list of topics is still sitting there in the first window, and you don't have to wait for it to re-load.
It has saved me so much time. I can't imagine going back to my "old" way. But don't forget, every once in a while, you have to "refresh" or "reload" your list of topics.
