    Tab order of quick reply

    Is it possible to change the tab order of the quick reply box?

    It currently goes...

    submit button
    preview button
    include signature check box
    quote check box

    would it be possible to have it going as it would left to right ie;

    quote check box
    submit button
    preview button
    quote check box

    maybe other users find it different to me, but the only one I really use is the quote check box (I use alt-s to submit) I can understand the submit button coming first, but the other two (other than the quote one I don't think I've ever used.

    Alternatively, is there a shortcut key for include quote??

    Then, as if by magic, my post appears with your message quoted - no need to load another page.

    You have to have clicked on somebody else's post first though (otherwise it doesn't know who to quote)

    Personally though, I'd prefer it if I could do TAB SPACE (check box), TAB ENTER (submit) - but each to their own I guess.

    I can change it but it's pretty logical as it is, in that most people will leave the checkboxes as they are and move straight onto the submit buttons. If the general consensus proves to agree with you though then I will make the change

    Sorry it took so long to reply

    Cheers - I'm sure there's plenty more important things for you to be getting on with

    If there's a lack of feedback could you just switch the tab order of the "quote" and "signature" boxes??
