small technical query??

small technical query?? November 26, 2004 10:09PM |
I'm not complaining but wondering if others find it a bit irritating having to scroll down sometimes long lists of messages (36 and 44 length threads on this forum alone and often many more on the foodie site)) to get to the latest one posted??
I am only a member of one other forum and on that one when you open the thread it immediately takes you to the last message you yourself posted and those posted thereafter - if you haven't posted anything it takes you to the last couple of messages - and you have the option of reading back through what else is on there if you wish.
Is this clear as mud?? I'm not good at explaining anything technical but does anyone understand what I am getting at?:-(
In other words - is it possible to speed up the process????

Yes, Renee, simply hit the 'end' button on your keyboard and it will immediately take you to the bottom of the page and you can then scroll back to where you want to start reading. Similarly, when at the bottom of the page you can hit the 'home' key and you'll be taken back to the top of the page. I am, of course, talking about the set of keys between the alphabetic and numeric pads on your keyboard.

Yes - that END button is wonderful. I had spent months scrolling down until someone wonderful - think it may have been Megan who pointed it out to new members.
I sometimes wish we could use it on people.
I have a family member - won't say which relationship or you will all think I'm terrible - but she has this habit of reciting at least 4 paragraphs before she "gets to the point". I would darely love to push the END button at times. Especially on phone calls - during peak hours.............
This doesn't read too good - oh well - judge me if you will - I can take it. Another bit of stress won't hurt. I'm sure you all know people like I'm talking about.
Cheers

I have a confession!!!! When my girlfriend and I get together over a couple of wines, hic, we waffle on like nothing on earth. We can be yakking away get totally lost and off the track and forget what it was we were originally talking about. Anyone else get themselves in this situation? So Raewyn if you were in our company you would have to hit the 'end' button quite frequently me thinks!!! Cheers to all friends like her and I.

Nellie - that story is delightful - you have to admit somewhat different from what I was describing tho.
It's different with friends - friends are there to ramble with - and it's even better with a bit of plonk.
The Udder Raewyn is right - I wouldn't hit the END button.
I just meant it would be a handy tool for "some" people in the right situation.
Gosh what a lovely afternoon I have had in the garden. My first bit of proper gardening in 5 months - due to a shoulder injury at work. - No - not from Udder Raewyn pulling my arm either. I found this dear little concrete teddy almost buried amongst the undergrowth. I forgot he was even there. He is presently emersed in a lovely bowl of warm soapy water waiting for a back scrub with an old toothbursh. Better go....

Linda - thank you - you've taught me something.
I have never used that "END" button - in fact in all honestly never even noticed it before.
I use the other END button - in the middle of the second row to the right of delete.
Well well - learn something new every day - don't we?
Don't you just love this forum?
