Tabbing from the nickname box should take you to the password box ... ?

A very minor quibble, but when you're adding a message and you've typed your nickname in, if you're mouse-averse like me you use tab to jump to the password box. I'm pretty sure this used to work, but now tab takes you to the 'Click here' link. I then often absentmindedly type my password, hit return and get transported off into the ether!

Any chance of getting the tab order changed?

It only bugs me when I'm at work when I tend not to log in, so my nickname and password aren't populated.

Hi Pidge,

Sorry for the delay in replying. I didn't spot this before. Yes, it's easy to fix, but I'm scared to change it in case it incurs the wrath of people now used to tabbing three times..... I wonder if there are any.

The tab order should be nickname then password now. No-one shouted up against so thought "why not".

Cheers,

Hello oh popcorn icon,

All we changed is what happens if you are in the write a message box and start hitting the tab key. In the old days, depending on lots of things but for most people, the "focus" (the bit of the page that is highlighted and where anything you type "goes") would move as

Message box, nickname box, "click here" link, "here" link, password box.

Now it goes
Message box, nickname box, password box, "click here" link, "here" link.

So if you don't like using the mouse, it's now easier to move among the three boxes you need to type in just by pressing Tab. People were finding it annoying / confusing to be in the nickname box and click tab only to find the focus move off to one of the links rather than the password box where they expected it to go.

Regards,
Tech
