Can you make it so my name doesn't show up in other people's profiles?

That only happens because everyone else is one of your sock puppets.

The "er..." was a response to the actual question.

Also, stop using IE8.

So.. this posting thing with CTRL+Enter?

Doesn't work on the mobile skin.. I don't see why it needs to though so carry on!

This is true. It will only work with the "normal" skin (called Subsilver2).

Alt+S will work, though.

How so? Picture width limit is a field in the board settings of phpBB is it not?

Yup. It's called 'Maximum image width per post' and it's in the post settings.

So it could be raised to 1024, could it not?

It's surely possible. But you seem to be ignoring the main point, which isn't that I can't do it, or that I don't want to.

I appear to not know the main point then, not that i'm ignoring it.

The decision to do it isn't up to me. Or you.

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Jun 05, 2013 16:48

Will alt+S work? Nope.. It opens my history?!? Nevermind.

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Jun 05, 2013 17:51

I was using Firefox on my work PC. When I pressed ALT+S after I finished typing, it opened history from the menu bar. This was the mobile skin by the way.

Malc · **Posted:** Wed Jun 05, 2013 18:27

ditto.

S is the hotkey for history in firefox (H is for help)

On the mobile skin, the cancel button takes you to the main skin.

I guess I never was indecisive before.

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Sep 20, 2013 19:23

Yeah, I know.

Use the back button

Double-tap CTRL to reply to the topic you are viewing.
Double-tap Shift to quote the last post on that page.

I've also set the forum to autofocus on the reply box.

Using the mouse is for n00bs

What browser/skin combo are those supposed to work on as neither of them work for me on Firefox 17 on mobile or subsilver2 skins.

Me too, and I like it. And yet I've just realised I still moved the mouse down to the quick reply box to type this - doh!

Wow! It works!

Is there a shortcut for submitting your post?

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2013 11:35

Yup. Alt + S works on all browsers. I prefer CTRL + Return, but that doesn't work on Firefox (I think).

Perhaps it was IE. Can't remember.

Both should work, anyway.

Is it worth collating all these shortcuts somewhere? Perhaps the threads of note and worth maybe?

I am good to you lot... I might just collate them all and add them to the Docs post in the threads of note and worth.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2013 12:15

Off the top of my head, we've got:

Code:

Posting page:
Alt + B / I / U: Format text
Alt + Q: Quote
Alt + L: List
Alt + t : List item
Alt + p : Image
Alt + w : URL
Alt + s / CTRL + Enter : Submit
Alt + k : Save
Alt + c : Cancel

Everywhere except the main forum page:
Alt + 1 / Alt + H: Go to the main forum page

Main forum page:
Alt + 1 / Alt + N: Go to the first unread post
(Note - I find Alt + N and Alt + H don't work, but Alt + 1 does)

Topic page:
Alt + R: Reply
Alt + Q: Quote last post on page

If you can think of any more we could use, let me know.

Have you fixed the thing on the mobile site where cancelling a post sends you back to the proper forum? I just cancelled a post and it sent me back to the mobile site.

Can't zoom on mobile skin in Safari. Is that fixable? It's annoyed me for ages.
