Is it possible to have the board revert back to Recent Topics after you post a comment?

It's a tad annoying to have to scroll back up to those, especially if there are a lot of comments on a topic.

The "Home" key should take you immediately to the top of your screen.

There should be a key on your keyboard that says 'home' mine is between my insert and page up key on the right hand side.

LOL....never knew that was there, much less what it did. I use a laptop...it's combined with the "7" key on the numeric pad on the right hand side. Going to have to remember that one!

I just use the up arrow. At the bottom of each post in the corner is a gray circle with a white arrow tip. If you click on it, it will automatically take you to the top of the page. :)

And *I* never knew that! :)

As for the Home key, I'm on a laptop too but I also have a separate row above the numeric pad area with Insert, Home, Pageup, then on the 2nd row Delete, End (which goes to the bottom), & Pagedown. I usually use Page Up/Down instead of scrolling even on the desktop because I don't like to read while the screen is rolling, plus it's faster. So it was just natural for me to use it on the laptop!

So let's add yet another way to navigate. I use one of two ways to get back to the top.

I either click on "Board Index" which shows up immediately after I post a message in the banner just under the tabs.

Or if I don't post, and just lurk through a set of messages, when I get to the end of the thread, I use Ctrl-Home to get back to the top. I haven't tried Home by itself on my computer, mainly because I use Ctrl-Home in so many other programs.
