Ok...I DID NOT explain it right.
NORMALLY...when a thread gets So LONG...it will say underneath
"Topic too long, click here to review it"

Well, when I am replying to someone, I dont want to see the ENTIRE thread, because I have to save my work(like stated earlier)..I just want to see the PERSON I am replying to.

I was wondering if the REPLY TO feature can work JUST LIKE the QUOTE section.

I know, this is confusing.

Have you ever used multi tabs? That way you can go back and forth between their post and your text box. It will save you from having to copy and paste and backspace back and forth.

Go to the 'reply to' button, right click, then hit 'open link in new tab.' That's what I do and what I'm doing right now to type this. lol

I dont want them to work EXACTLY the same way...I am just saying when a thread gets to a certain point, the text table page wont show the comment.

And sometimes when a response is too long, I will do as you suggested and hit the quote and just erase afterwords, but that gets annoying after a while.

Which version of AOL Explorer are you using?

If it's an older version, it doesn't support tabbed browsing.

Updating your browser or changing to Firefox or IE8 would help with the problem but if you have a newer version of AOL, it should allow you to open new tabs. I am not famailar with it so I'm not sure what it displays but the description page I just read says it does use tabbed browsing, so it is available.

Im using AOL 9.1 (new).

Truthfully, I like the AOL browser, its quicker than the IE on my system..the IE on this system takes FOREVER to load(thats why I dont use it).

AOLbrowser =(


i think you've solved your question. Minimize AOL, you can still run firefox. also, it isnt 1997 anymore, haha.

-----

ok Ill stop being mean now, haaha - Have you ever tried running something like firefox while aol's interface is running in the background? I can not express to you how much easier surfing the web is if you can open up more tabs, it makes it alot easier to post threads without having you redirect the page your on.

click file at the top left and you should be able to start a new tab that way, but even the most recent vers. of AOL should have that function.

I don't know then.

I just looked over what is available about the browser and it says that newer versions have tabbed browsing available.

Have a roam around your options and stuff. maybe you have tabbed browsing turned off or another setting may be preventing you from opening new tabs. That's the only other thing I can think of.
