looking for specific post in 'my posts"

I am looking for a specific post amony my 600+

I may open old one that looks interesting

but when I finish I can only go back to the very first post on the very first page.I cannot

continue through the remaining ones but have to return

to post 1 page 1.

One answer is not to open anything until I find the one

I want. However I may not find the info unless I open

the post. Then to continue through the 600+ I am sent

back to.....p 1 post one and have to scroll thoug every single

page.again to continue search where I ended it

Are there short cuts, commands or instructions I'm missing?

    right click on any link .. and 'OPEN IN NEW WINDOW' ....



    this leaves your original window intact.. so you can go back to it... but allows you to look at the new one....


    let me know if this works...


    i guess it presumes you are using a mouse and a laptop or desk top... only dweebs ... god and children would know how to do it on a phone.. lol ...

    Despite my intentions to use my laptop more -and stop wrecking my hand joints) my phone is always at hand so i use it.

    And im neither a dweeb or child ( though i may be headed back in that direction) which speaks to a sense of incomprehension with your directions

    i dont even understand how they are related to my query

    except that ? one can keep returning to original window without repeatedly re initiating a search ?

    i am truly bs ing now

    i have no idea and i still have not opened my Chromebook

    thanks anyhow, Ken

    I’m no expert, but basically not all things are created equal using different devices. If you are using the phone, it is likely stupidly set to go back to the top with each back/forth of your search instead of remaining where you last were. Probably as mentioned using a Google search would be easier - again, not an expert, but you’d probably type in Google the key words and your name in quotes, indicating that they must be in the search, e.g.: “Marie Tulin” “Houzz.com” “the forum that eludes me”…

    boy marie.. thats some stream of consciousness.. but im not in your canoe.. lol ..


    yes.. you complained you kept getting lost going back and forth from your original page... i made a suggestion to stop that.. if you were an anything but a phone... it was a problem you specifically stated.. so i answered it..


    though of course.. that wasnt the gist of your post... i left that to others...


    if you do open the Chromebook.. point at my name above this reply.. and right click on it.. and all kinds of options will appear in the window that opens...
