I recently upgraded to IE 9. Prior to the upgrade, when I clicked "back" after visiting a thread it took me to the same spot in the unread messages index that I had been. Now it takes me to the top of the page and I have to scroll down to get back to where I was. Does anyone know how I can change back to how it worked in earlier IE versions? Thanks -- John

I upgraded to IE 9 and after about 2 minutes I hated it and went back to the previous version. It was easy to do and I am happy with it. Depending on what version of windows you have there is a spot you can go to in order to "undo updates" and you see all the updates your computer has made. If you want to go back just do a google search for "how to go from IE9 back to IE 8"

I have IE 8 and mine still does the same thing. I was hoping I was going to learn how to correct it. It is aggravating.....lol

Yep, and kick the rest of that MicroShaft crap to the curb also.

Well, I switched from Firefox to Google Chrome. Even better. Much faster.

I like firefox because I it blocks all of the ads. Does Google Chrome do that too?

Greetings,
A question for Mary.
I follow the link below your name and see no data for the last few years on martin numbers.
Did your colony suffer a catastrophe?
Cheers,

Thanks for asking Vern.

I simply have neglected to submit the data to the Michigan Martins website for several years. That's the site that hosts my page. Thanks for reminding me to do so.

My colony has continued to fledge 200-225 young each season, with the exception of 2009 when I lost about half my nestlings during the unseasonably cold week in late June-early July.

Thanks for the advice. I've been interested in Chrome anyway and might just try it. Can you import favorite sites from IE to Chrome without having to type them all in? -- John
