Being a newbie I check out all the links in a post and find that upon return to the (web) forum it puts me back to the top of the page instead of the post I left. Is this something fixable?
Walter you have done a great job on this redesign!
When you return, are you using the Back button? If so, this behavior is entirely up to your browser to make happen. I don’t do anything in particular to make the page go one place or another.
There have been a few requests to make all off-site links open in a new window, that would certainly fix the problem you describe here, but it’s a very big gun for the purpose.
One thing you could try would be to enable Tabs in your browser, and then Command-click on any links you want to explore. That opens the link in a new tab, and then when you want to return, you simply close that tab and nothing has moved in your original page.
