Chestybabe, I know exactly what you mean, Im exactly the same, I start off reading one post, see a link, or click on their profile and end up somewhere completely different wondering what the hell am I doing here wink

I do the same thing and my way round it was to change my browser settings so as it opens links in a new window thus keeping the origional page should I wish to return to it. The down side is as I open so many links and not close them I end up with about a dozen firefox windows in the tool bar and if I have my daughter staying it's easy to minimize one should she get up in the night but as I close one I find another behind it, and another, and another, and............................... ahh you get the idea lol

I've now given up minmizing and just turn the monitor off its easier :lol: :lol:

You can open them in tabs with Firefox, that way you only have to minimize one window wink

I've had to use Firefox for a couple of day because I was using a different laptop and I have to admit that I downloaded it this morning on to my own laptop. I really do like these tab thingies and it is so much easier to hide from little eyes lol

what he said! get tab mix plus or tabbrowser preferences from firefox extensions, set them up so a middle click opens everything up as tabs in the background. everything opens in the same window. one click to close them all, and in the darkness blind them! ((( dodgy LOTR alusion! :lol: )))
chesty, you can get firefox at
it's ace. i can keep the forum index open, click 2 dozen links, and all of 'em open up quietly in the background into tabs, so you need never lose another thread. not to mention it's a lot safer than internet explorer.
