Oddly, I can't get to the top post there about the upgrade.  Anyone else have this problem?

I click and it tells me:

Yup. That news post is off limits to me as well. I thought it was just because I'd pissed Kyle off with my nagging.  :laughing:

Should work now, guys. I set all the permissions right the first time, except the one that allows you to access the board at all. *foreheadslap*

Probably a really minor thing, and I don't know how such things are managed, but when I type in the quick-reply, I am used to being able to hit "tab" once to go to the "post" button, and hit enter. If I do so now it does something else entirely.

Sorry about that. Was working under the hood, and it got away from me. Fixed now.

Yeah, I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing it since we haven't gotten any once else responding on this...

This may be because no-one else is navigating this with the Tab key. :-P

The reason is simple: the quick reply text input field has the highest tab index in the form. As a result, hitting tab will roll over and select the first link in the whole HTML file, which is the link to the index page under the zetaChannel logo image in the top left corner. Changing tabindex="6" to tabindex="1" in the source should fix this.

I've alwasy navigated with the Tab key, on almost every web page it tabs you to the most useful item on the page.  In this case from a text box to the Post key, sometimes to the Preview instead.  Either way is preferrable than to what this page currently goes to... 

Post and Preview are ShiftTab thrice and twice at the moment.  It seems counterintuitive, and I'm sorry if I use a Tab key, I feel like I'm being denigrated as a neanderthal for doing as so.

To make this clear, even if you two are the only guys using this, this is still counter-intuitive, and I'd still like Kyle to fix this, especially seeing as it should just need changing one character in a template file somewhere.

It's fixed. For the record, it was a bit more complex than Gudy would have you believe. Not a lot more, mind, but not as simple as changing one character in a template somewhere. Also, I put the buttons into a more sensible order, and made tab work right for them, too.

Thanks, Kyle...

Gudy, I misunderstood your comments, my apologies.

PS:  I definitely like the order of the tabs.  :D
