Keyboard

If you are a keyboard user, when you are tabbing through a list of replies you will see links appearing at the beginning of each post, for example “Post 2 (summarised) in reply to 1” which will enable you to jump directly to the post that the reply is to, in other words the ‘parent’ message.

There is an issue with the keyboard focus in a particular situation in the forum, which affects users of Internet Explorer version 7. After replying to a post, if you tab out of the message area, the keyboard focus indicator (dotted line) does not display. If you keep tabbing, it will begin to display when you get into the next post. Keyboard access still works correctly, but the focus is not visually indicated (except that you can see the link target addresses changing in the status bar). This problem is caused by a bug in Internet Explorer version 7. If this affects you, you may want to consider upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer or using an alternative web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
