I had to click on the back arrow 53 times to get to the oldest comment, phew!

And I've been wanting to ask about the problem of having to start all over at the far left each time after you open and close a plurk page

if there is any easy way to get back to where you were before, without have to click on the big right arrow dozens of times?

I've always opened the plurk page, because otherwise my plurks always disappeared. Maybe that was an old bug that has been fixed.

Yep, it seems to work now.

and the mouse too. I never thought of using the wheel to go sideways.

What to do if you click a link that turns out to be a plurk page? Click "My Profile" & go back to start? The "back" button doesn't do it.

I mean the back button just takes you back to start, not to the plurk you were in, which you can't even find if it was "new responses"...
