At the bottom of each post there is an "ADD" button. Does it do anything?

It takes you back to the top of the thread so if you want to reply you click the reply mauve button. Only a help if its a long thread that has got several pages ,its a sort of short cut so as not to keep hiiting the back button to get back to the first page if you want to add your twopennuth!! lol

Oh, good in theory, but I just tried it on page 10 of a post and it did nothing at all.

I've been wondering about the add button, too. Think I tried it a couple times with not much happening. Will have to try it again.

but in practice it does nothing at all!

To get to the top of the page, use the "Home" button on your keyboard instead

Thing is,Island, at the start of the thread, neither David, or I, had any idea what the Add button was supposed to do, at all.

Think I'm putting it all together, now, though.

It doesn't do anything for me except adds "add" to the URL bar, i am using Windows Vista.

Island, It obviously works for some and not others.

It does not take me to the top of the page but pressing the "home" key does.

I'm using XP and Internet Explorer.

OK so who does it work for. Doesn't work for me. I use firefox on XP

Battenburg Report 9 Apr 2009 23:23

Im on Firefox and XP and it isnt working for me. When I press add it says done at the bottom of the screen but nothing has happened.

Peter Report 9 Apr 2009 23:29

Perhaps it is intended to allow the poster to add something. I'll see.
