Default Gallery viewing/comments question

is there a way to get back to where you were after you have viewed and posted comments on a layout?

I try to backspace but never actually get back to the gallery and always end up starting all over rather then from where I left off?

I know there must be an easier way...

thanks

I have the same problem... I have been right clicking on each layout to open a separate window because I hate to have to start all over = )

I asked this same thing some time back. Most of the comments I received said to open the LO in a new tab. I've been doing this now and it saves so much time. Just have to click back to the tab that has the gallery.

This is what I do:

After posting a comment, I select and HOLD the back button so the drop down menu appears. Then I go down the menu and chose the location to which I had originally been at before selecting the layout to comment on. It's under the name of the layout you were looking at. Usually where you want to go back to is called "Main Index" but it may be a certain gallery if you were starting from there.

Hom on DST showed me the tab way, just like Terry says, and it's so easy.

I just do the separate tabs too. Then I realise as I'm scrolling through the new layouts I've got about 20 or 30 tabs open, ROFL. You're all too good doing stunning layouts I want to see closer and comment on !

Back, back, back for me, too. It's 3 times and it has to be quickly or it won't work.

Hey, I thought I knew I internet pretty well, but this I didn't even know (or possibly have forgotten a very long time ago.) That is, about the back button!! That is cool!

I always open up the windows from the main gallery frame in seperate wondows (I use firefox) and that works good. Then if I need to go back I click the backbutton or go back with the drop down menu.

I now see that I can also go back and forth in the same window with the Alt+ right or left arrow - that is cool to know also !! (That is in Firefox).
