if only there was an up arrow AN would be at peace and everyone would be hugging.

it's not that kind of up arrow. although i am positive many would like an up yours arrow. this one is the arrow that puts the page to the top again. so you don't have to scroll. key to enjoyment on AN... other than reading your posts. 

 

Try the 'Home' keyboard button, works for me.

 

Although things have got quicker i'm still having speed problems with returning to a previous page using the return arrow in the top left of a page.

Never use back button on a forum, it's not designed for that. Use the breadcrumbs instead.

And delete the AN cookies in your browser. That means you only have to login again once!

Cookies can sometimes be corrupted and this should solve your issue.

So now you tell me to delete them but before you say the forum relies on them. WTF ?

Delete them, and a fresh set will be stored in your browser.

These cookies aren't the same as the one's found in cookie jars, these are temperamental, stubborn little critters.

Sounds like your configuration is totally off. This is not something that I have to do. Always logged in and get the news directly.

Don't be to grateful, it's a bit of a backhanded compliment.

What he's saying is that you guys made it horrendously slow before.

 

But I agree it's nipping along at a goodly pace now.

No, we didnt "make it" slow that was the end result from the then management penny pinching with way below capacity servers for the site.

They will when the forum has paid-for membership that covers their costs...it is a business, until then be grateful for your free entertainment.

Space bar and "shift".

No, we have to write a plugin this week for that purpose. Now its possible to use plugins again.

If you're going to bother with that (space + shift does the same), get a "Delete notifications" button also!

Don't see the point of trying to read AN on a 5.5" screen with a magnifying glass.
