    going back after have posted an answer on this website

    Maybe a stupid question ("there are only stupid answers"?) but when i reply a thread and i want to go back to the main forum, what must i do? Now, after i submit my answer, i click a few times on the left Arrow on the top of my screen but it takes a while when it reaches the forum again...
    So, is there (or is there not) a better way?
    I know it sounds bizar..., but i know you guys are the chimps, sorry, champs!
    Just joking a little.

    Don't use your browser forward/back arrows, but do scroll to the top and click on New Posts, or Forum.

        If I limited myself to reading only the Sharp thread, I wouldn't have seen your post, and (hopefully) helped you.

          Most browsers can open links in new tabs, so I open all the threads I want to see in any manufacturer topic in new tabs. If you open a lot of tabs this way it's a good idea to refresh them every once in a while to make sure someone didn't beat you to your suggestion though.
          Of course, if you are viewing CTN on a computer, you could just click on the words "Ricoh, Savin, Gestetner, Lanier" which are found at the top of the white area of the page to get back to the Ricoh topic.

            First, there are no stupid questions. It is only stupid if you do not ask.

            From the original post I got the impression that Mark Bbb is using a mobile device and not a computer. If that is the case, scroll to the top so that the URL line is showing. In the upper right, just to the right of the URL line will be a little square with a number in it. The number indicates how many tabs are open. Tap the square and thumbnails of the tabs will be shown. It you then tap the circle with a - in it, that tab will be closed. Tap the thumbnail for the tab you want and you will be taken to that tab. If you only have one tab, then you can click on Forum.
