If I could change 1 thing...

I use a lot of mobile devices since I'm often on the go.

Now that includes a laptop, but I'm old skool and am used to scrolling with the arrow keys on my keyboard, mostly because I don't have a mouse.

This is the only website I visit often that doesn't automatically grab/focus/whatever the keyboard. Its incredibly inhibiting to my experience to have to click the page everytime it loads before I can scroll with my keyboard.

I'm trying to find the HTML/CSS object for it, but am not having much luck.

Just a thought. If I could automatically scroll with my keyboard when the page is finished loading my experience would be 100x better.

Hmmm... I have no idea how to fix that. Cyberdemon is more tech savvy - if he can work out how I can change it then I'll make the necessary changes. Failing that, Vashta may know what needs to be done. I'll get back to you. [thumbup]

Just to let you know, Vashta is looking into this. He says it's the way the forum is built - it has a static background. He will investigate making it tiled instead, which will mean it doesn't behave in the way it currently does any more. This will hopefully be sorted when we develop optional backgrounds, which is currently being worked on.

The upcoming new theme most likely will have a tiled background which should improve things.
Meanwhile, what browser do you use? I find Firefox on android to decently-enough load the boards..

I actually just acquired an Asus Transformer Book so I'm swiping with my touch screen now lol.

I can already tell the way I use the internet will never be the same. Thanks for taking the time.

Well!
Hopefully the forum update currently happening in the background will match your shiny new tablet once it's done!
