Searching Topics on the H&M Forums

Unread post by nancyb »

When I search a topic and my results list several entries, I click on "back" to go to the next topic and I get an invalid screen. How do I get back to my search results to select the next topic? I have just joined the forum so I am still learning my way around.

Hi Nancy,

I was having the same trouble with search lists and also with the list of new posts since last login. The solution is to open each topic in a new window by Shift-clicking on the link. (That command works in my browser - you might have to right-click and select to open in new window.) Then you simply close the new window to return to the search list.

Good hunting!
Dean

Hi,

Hold down the Shift key when you click on a topic to read it. It will then open
in a separate window. When you close that window you will still have the search
results in the original window. You can then Shift-click the next topic for reading.

Martin.

Hi Nancy,

Welcome to the forum!

This is caused by the fact that the results page is dynamically generated when you search and doesn't really "exist" as a "page" that you can return to. There are a couple of simple solutions, see this thread for details:
