Joe,

maybe OT in this group, but here goes. Would you consider opening a new explorer window when we reply to threads? Reason I ask, is that if I want to quote, I can't always (depending on how the original text is presented) actually copy the full content I'd like to use. I often open another explorer and copy-and-paste between the two. It's no big deal for me to do that, but is it worth exploring as an enhancement? Excuse the pun.:)

G'morning,

Have you tried right-cliking on Quote and then on (open in new window)? I find this easier than opening internet explorer and getting to the thread from scratch.

Later, Paul:cool:

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page there is a topic review window where you can see the thread.

I don't have any right click options aaprt from the obvious copy, paste, etc.

Yes!:beer:

I never payed any attention to it for the forum banner looked like nothing more than just another copy of the one at the top. It was almost, inconsequential.:)

Now I'm a happy bunny!

What version of Internet Explorer are you using? In version 5.5 right clicking on a link gives you a contextual menu that includes 'Open in New Window'. It's an extremely useful tool, I use it dozens of times a day.

I see what you mean Jupe. I never noticed the quote link at the bottom, as upto now I've only seen/used the quote button at the top of the reply window. It's there that the context-sensitive list differs. Now I really know where to look!!
