Quotes between posts Put an end to popups!

Why is it that of all the quotes, the ones I want to read are never accessable(sp) when I hit my browser back button?

Most of the time, when I hit the back button, It goes back to the quote and gives me time to hit the pause button.

But whenever it is a longer quote, it says the page is expired.

Any help?

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

MSIE doesn't keep the contents of forms in it's working memory after switching document/page, unlike many other browsers (i.e. Opera, Netscape, Mozilla) that support returning to the form if it's still loaded in the working memory. So the solution is to use a better browser or to use Notepad for writing longer messages like Solver hinted previously.

Well I always also copy the post to the clipboard before submitting, because otherwise I might get the database error and see the post gone.

I know that, but if the quote is a long one, I have to scroll down to get the pause button, by then it is too late.

If the pause button doesn't work, just hit the back button and then pause it the second time.

My mistake, see Mozilla has no problems with this. I guess whenever this discussion comes up again I will simply bring this up for a reason to use Mozilla instead of IE.

So you would prefer that you see these quotes than getting on with your posting behavior?

Seems that the quotes are more important to you then they should be. THey should only be something to look at if you have a slow connection and need something to hold you over until the server has processed things. Other than that, quotes are nothing.

Quotes are the meaning of life, a condensated wisdom.

Somethimes, a quote is something you've never read before, and you want to capture it so you can either enjoy it more thoroughly, or else find the original source and read that.

If a spot a long quote, I'll hit the stop button then and there (not pause, STOP), and repeatedly. My post is already well on its way (or else the quote wouldn't have popped up in the first place), so all I'm doing is giving myself a little exra work to get back to the page.
