What computer, and browser are you using Mike?

Your right about that David. Another thorn in my side. I think I’ll just come down the hall and play patty cakes with you instead of worrying about my total ignorance of computers.

Hi Purplev. I have an Acer Aspire 57202 with Windows Home Vista.

Hi Dave. Thanks. I will try that pending any better ideas from Purplev.

hey mike…i tired it just now and it works ok for me…..:))).......wish i could help…thats a weird one..your browser should take you back to the last page you visited…..and your probably saying …yea…duhhhh….i know thats my problem…....well heck i dont know…...ask me a different question…maybe i will know that one…lol…

Dave I tried that and it worked. I would prefer a one clicker, but much better anyway because I’m often not paying attention to what page no. I’m on and when it goes back to pg. 1 I lose my place. I can’t understand my incompetence with this stuff. I used to be so good at finding the right stations on the radio to listen to Lone Ranger.

Grizzman Maybe that spyware on your machine is doing it.(LOL)

I have the same thing happening as Stefang, and have an HP running on windows and using mozilla firefox. I use the method described above as a work around and have not found a way to eliminate the problem. Pat

I have Firefox too. One page back works fine for me except when I’m doing an LJ search or moving from page to page on projects. Maybe it’s a Firefox thing in spite of that.

Thanks very much for your help Dave.

Stop looking at all the pages.. you know you will only want to put them on your list…
Seriously… you should be able to set your defaults for the following…. open links in new page…you will find this in “settings}... not really sure where it is in Vista… just have a look… then only one click, look at the project and then close the page… Voile…back where you started from…
Hope this heips

I haven’t found a way to do it other than keeping track of my place :-((

Hi Mike, search is powered by Google custom search solution and there are only certain things that I can modify. I just tested your scenario and interestingly it works as you described in Firefox browser. But.. it works just fine (as you’d expect it to work) in Google’s own Chrome browser. I’m using Chrome as my default browser so I didn’t notice this before.

So you may either switch to Google Chrome or open the projects in new tabs as Dave suggested until other browsers catch up.

Thank you very much Martin. I am using Chrome and as you said it, it returns to the to the correct pg. no. now.

It looks like it’s working for me in Firefox as well as Chrome now… I noticed there’s an extra parameter in Firefox sa=Search#1120 (the #1120 not being on the URL in Chrome). Did you fix this Martin? If so, good job!
