Provide link back to SoPW from head node

I dropped in on PM today, having the luxury of a little time to meander down the dusty stacks this morning, after cooking pancakes for the family .. and after replying to a question on Seekers of Perl Wisdom and I found myself wanting to go back to the position I was at on the SoPW page, so I could read the next oldest post.

With foresight, I could have accomplished this by opening the original post in a new tab, or used the browser back button enough times that I got back to the starting page .. I wonder, how much work would it be to add a link beside the title that would take the browser back to where this post lived on the 'parent' or 'section' page?

Alternatively, perhaps some additional links could be added at the same location to take me to the previous and next posts in the same section.

Just a thought.

...either that, or <CTRL><RIGHT CLICK> (FF - don't know about M$ Internet Exploder) the link to the post you're about to respond to. ,p> Even so, I quite frequently forget, hence such an enhancement wouldn't go amiss. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]

~~There is already a link below the vote button for the whole thread. It says "Back to Seekers of Perl Wisdom". Most sections have such a link, SOPW definitely does.~~ – Ignore this, I see what you want now.	[reply]
