advice when answering posts

[sundown]

I have found, that when answering posts,
that half way through printing my answer,
I've forgotten some details of the post I'm answering.
( old age, short term memory loss)
so I have to abandon my printing to go back to re-read the post.
but i've got that beat now
before I answer a post i open a new window
which I leave on the taskbar
then if I have to refer back to the origional post
I just click it on the taskbar
thus saving what i've printed so far
I know some of you will think " thats obvious"
but this is aimed at the older mentally challenged members
like myself

I do the same thing, usually forget who I'm answering, so that would be very useful to me too, but do I have a taskbar?

course you do its at the bottom, at the moment it should have on it,
"when answering"

Why don't you just scroll down from the reply box then you can read all the previous posts?

Hi all. I find the same method useful if i wish to transfer information or links from old threads into new ones.

After the reply box in which I am typing now, there is some stuff about "Additional Options" which I dont understand, then further down from that, all the previous posts are there to be read in reverse order.

Well I can see them anyway.
