I sem to be doing a lot of to-ing and fro-ing between different pages on G.R. Is there an easy way to go from the mail to my hot matches and back so that I can delete the ones that aren't relavent to me. I've just re suscribed to GR after moving from NZ to UK.Where I hope to do some serious granny huning

If you use internet explorer use tabbed browsing.


With tabs you can:
Use one Internet Explorer window to view all your webpages.
Open links in a background tab while viewing the page you're on.
Save and open multiple webpages at once by using favorites and home page tabs.


To get started:
Press the CTRL key while clicking links (or use the middle mouse button).
Click any tab with the middle mouse button to close it.
Press ALT+ENTER from the address bar or search box to open the result in a new tab.
