Someone spoke to me!

I have been sitting here all night and all day waiting to test out the F5 and the refresh button.

Thanks everyone and Lindy Lou. The F5 works great!

I use the oldest first/newest first button, however these days it will stay on your choice until you change it.

I've started using the refresh button on the tool bar.
I always like to refresh before I answer something in case it's already been answered.

Yooohooo. Hi Gerri, the quickest way to refresh the page is to press F5 on your keyboard. It's saved me literally seconds!

No Reg. I dont think I have explained myself very well. Sorry.

example....To see if anyone has added to this thread...The old way was, there was a refresh button. Now theres isnt!

I wonder if I use the refresh on my task bar? Will try it....

When I used to add to a thread, all i had to do was hit the 'refresh' and it took me back to the thread so I could see what others had added.

NOW! I have to go back to say 'tips/record' and look for the thread again!

By the time I have found it again i have forgotten what we were helping with!!!

Is the refresh button hiding some where else now? Or is there another way?

Confussed and fed up Gerri x
