What’s the best way to return after one’s posted? I push the “Back” button and all I get is the “Page Expired” mess. Any ideas?? Jake ---

Try right-clicking on your browser’s “back” button. This should offer you a selection of all the last dozen or so pages you were on. Go back two links rather than one, and you should get back to the thread (or wherever.) ---

After posting, you **are** returned to the thread in which you posted - with your new post now showing up last in the thread (well, except maybe for really close simulposts). Now if you’re asking how to return to the _forum listing_, then try the **“Forum Jump”** pull-down menu near the bottom right-hand corner of the page - you can go to any forum listing, or to the “Forums Home” page, plus several additional options.
