I know I read somewhere that you said to right click on the reply button and open a new window. That way we could reply and review the poem and responses at the same time.

I did do this, the first time I did it, it worked.
It hasn't since then. Was that disabled?
Or do we have to continue to click the link of "review topic?"

Right-click/Open in New Window is kinda like your Back button, Rebecca - it's built right into the browser and not part of our software. I just used it to reply to this thread, without any problems. Just make sure your mouse pointer turns into a hand when you hold it over the Reply Icon, then right-click instead of left-click.

OK, hmm, I just did it here. Had the hand and all, chose open in new window. All I'm getting is the reply box.

I can't view anything that was said already while I'm doing this.

But the topic review link is there at the bottom. Why do you suppose it would work for me once and not again?

Hehe. When you open the Reply form in a New Window, you get exactly that - a brand new window. If your window is full screen, you don't see the one you just left. But it's there.

At the bottom of your monitor is a grey bar called the Task Bar. On the left side is the fancy Windows logo and Start Menu, and on the right is probably your digital clock. In between those two, are buttons, each one representing an open window. Click on one of those buttons and you change to that window. If you want to be able to see all the windows at the same time, right-click somewhere on your Task Bar where isn't a button or anything and select one of the Tile options (horizontal or vertical).

OMG ROFLMAO! I wish I could blame this on not enough coffee.

(fading out of the background and feeling quite stupid)

DUH! That hehe and the mention of the task bar, and I didn't have to read another word.
The lights went on. LOL

I'm sorry Ron.
