question for cd

[sburro]

I am a lazy person. Let me get that out first.

When I am viewing a large thread and want to go back to the portal, I have to scroll all the way to the top. No it is not difficult, but I was wondering if it might be possible to place a link on the bottom of the page as well? It is just a suggestion. I mean nothin against CD.

[Tom Schindler]

I agree--

Brandon, can you make some sort of mind-reading device that i can just think "portal" and i'll go back? surely this can't be too difficult?

Hitting the 'Home' key on your keyboard will automatically scroll back to the top of a page.

There is one already. If you go to the bottom and click Chief Delphi it will take you back to the portal.

[Guyute]

or or or if you are really SPECIAL and you have a 5 buttoned mouse you can set the two side buttons as backward and foward for websites so you click on the far left button and it takes you back a page....

You could just hit the backspace key and that will take you to the previous page.

[Tom Bottiglieri]

or you could make Chief Delphi your home page and just hit the home button

I would just like to say that this is the best thread ever. Especially that mind reading crack - major kudos on that one, Tom.

In the interest of laziness, I give you my favorite windows shortcut:

Go to "calculator" in the Start-->Programs menu and right click on it
Go to "Properties", and in the "Shortcut Key" box, hit "Ctrl + Alt + C".

Now, whenever you hit those three buttons, the calculator pops up.

I also have it setup for Paint and Notepad.

I think that a portal button beside the next thread/previous thread would be great. Brandon I am so glad that you are willing to act on suggestions like these. I know that you can make it happen.

[Brandon Martus]

I'll see what I can do...

[Venkatesh]

Alright. Here is what I recommend. Chiefdelphi should set up matrix.chiefdelphi.com. Then run coax cable to every FIRST person's home. Brain jacks are recommended to enjoy the experience.

I think that we could find people willing to give a grant for something like that...

You could always use mouse gestures, if your browser is so endowed Or, on the off-the-wall chance that you're using IE, you could use alt-left arrow to go back to. Much quicker than having to locate a small link and then click on it. (Just remember, laziness is a virtue of a programmer. You're 1/3 of the way there!)

Any modern browser (Internet Explorer is not a modern browser).
