ctrl+home since forever

#1824 posted by metlslime on 2014/08/15 05:29:55

alt + left arrow is "back" in most browsers (or apple + left arrow on macintosh)

#1825 posted by metlslime on 2014/08/15 05:30:44

...which doesn't mean i won't do it, just, this is just a request for a hyperlink to go back, right?

#1826 posted by Lunaran on 2014/08/15 12:06:10

backspace also goes back!

#1827 posted by Lunaran on 2014/08/15 12:08:46

Although after posting, you're placed at the bottom of a forum thread after a page you probably don't want to back up over (the one with the post you just made typed out in the box).

wait, not all people use mouse side buttons for back/forward?

#1829 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/08/15 13:14:22

Seriously, what else are those side buttons for?

#1830 posted by oh, that person on 2014/08/15 13:33:32

For playing Diablo 3, as Jay Wilson said in 2008!

#1831 posted by Lunaran on 2014/08/15 17:19:06

Oh, yeah, those too. but backspace when it's touchpad time.

#1832 posted by Lunaran on 2014/08/15 17:19:19

basically what we're all saying is you have options

Having The Buttons At The Bottom

Would help when on other devices, not PC.

I specifically have those keys set to do nothing in web browsers because I use them as push to talk keys in VOIP programs, and it's annoying as fuck to keep changing webpage while I'm talking to someone.

But that's a bit off topic.

Just because a shortcut exists doesn't mean you should not put links where they will be most useful. When I get to the bottom of the page is when I am likely to want links to other parts of the site. I don't think it would make the site's design look awful either.

#1835 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/08/16 00:15:14

It's "a" shortcut ... there's, like, 8.

No, not just a request for a link back. Most forums have some kind of way to navigate around the site at the bottom of the page since you're generally reading top to bottom. It's a usability thing.

Again, not a *huge* deal but it would be a nice thing to have if it's not a huge undertaking to implement it.

Where can I read about the forum codes used here? Like how to do text urls, like I see everyone but me do.

How do I find stuff on this forum? Also there's no pm system or a way to look back at your own posts and stuff?

Thread Info Gets Split If Too Long

#1842 posted by Spiney on 2014/08/25 13:06:56

Could look nicer if it were all moved onto a new line in such case.

Dare I imply that the real problem is that func_msgboard is only 512 pixels wide?

Thank God For That

#1844 posted by Spirit on 2014/08/25 17:07:23

#1845 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/08/25 18:14:26

Why is 512 desirable? As opposed to, say, 768?

#1846 posted by Spiney on 2014/08/25 18:34:39

It's easier to read short lines of text, the reason magazines and newspapers divide their text into columns.

Nowadays you can use css media queries to blow up the font and width when the window is beyond a certain res. Resolutions keep going up and all...
