Easier Scroll and Search on all Forum Lists

[Anonymous]

How many times have you scrolled a long subject list, followed an interesting thread, but then been unable to return to the original search spot on the list of subjects?

How nice it would be if we could scroll down the long list of Subjects, read up on one, then go back to the same place to resume our list searching and researching. Now, I understand that the subject goes from grey to another grey, but those grey colors are pretty hard to tell apart.

Also, it would be nice if a chosen Subject Line "highlighted" for ease of scrolling, and if that highlighted subject line would just stay in place, and run up the page as a place holder in rapid searching and scrolling. It takes good eyesight to follow a cursor down a grey list of subjects, with no "gravity" or "hot spot" to use as a reference in the scroll.

Have you tried opening the topics "in a new tab"?
By the time I get to the end of the list.... most of the pages are loaded and ready to read. Easy to keep track.

To add to Marc's comment: I frequently find folks who don't know how to quickly open links in new tabs. In case anyone's not aware of how to do this, it is the same on Mac and Windows browsers:

Windows: ctrl-click a link to open that link in a new tab

Mac: cmd-click

Cheers,

I have my magic mouse set so a center click is a "command-click".

Useful tip. Very helpful. I hadn't thought of tabs, thank you. And, I always appreciate how generous and forthcoming with people can be in this forum.

But the long list of topics is still just a haze of grey once you return to it. Why not make the "topics read" darker or lighter than the "topics unread" subjects?

And others have suggested linking subjects somehow, to make a Google search of subjects possible. Often the answers are buried so redundant threads are created.
