in reply to Refreshing the Current Node

I use 2 methods, neither as easy as hitting "Talk" on an un-submitted page.
  1. Add Personal Nodelet to your sidebar. The "add" links include the node_id in the URL, you can copy the link, paste it in the address bar, and delete the options after "...node_id=1234". BTW, if you don't like the links stacking up in the Personal Nodelet, you can hit "Collapse List" in user settings.
  2. Create a "Custom Node Title Definition" in user settings. I use "%T [%N] %S" to generate a node title (in the browser title bar) which looks like this: "Re: Refreshing the Current Node [123456] note". Just as you suspect, that number is the node id; type that number into the address bar, with the appropriate URL sugar.

Definitely not a mindless clicking exercise, but those 2 tricks save a bit of time.

    You can type node ids into the search box at the top of the page. That way you don't need to type all the URL baggage.

      Good point. The only (small) problem is that occassionally some people will create nodes whose titles are numbers(like 1 and 666), and the search box will send you to a search results page. Not usually a problem, but thought you'd like to know.
