OK, so I click on New Posts and get a page full. Then I look at one and go off to research the claim. Of course, when I come back to New Posts again, the one I originally clicked on is gone because I’ve already seen it. How can I get back to it? Is there any way besides remembering something in the title and searching?

Every time I search, my IPad opens a new link. When 35 or so are opened, it gets sluggish and I have to clear it. So hitting the back arrow doesn’t work because, after I’ve searched, I’m not on the same tab any more.

But you’ve given me an idea. I think I’ll look to see if there’s a way it WONT open a new tab all the time. Thank you!

Mr. Google? Here I come!

Well, I’ll be doggone! Mr. google suggested I turn off “Open Tabs in Background.” I did. It works!, Thank you!!!

I’m not sure what ELSE will change with that setting change, but it works for my question. Couldn’t a done it without ya!

Advanced search / search single content type (default setting, 'multiple' is chaos as far as I can see) / keyword / username / show as post (bottom of screen toggle). Works for anything upstairs, perhaps unless too old and moved to archive.
