A small gripe.

It does it for me also Phil. I thought it was something I was doing wrong.

Weird, mine works as advertised. What browser are you using?

I've checked "remember me" so I don't have to log in all the time.

I'm using IE.  Every other website on the web allows me to tab between fields, even other parts of the FSM site, but the log in isn't working for me.

I'll try IE and see what happens. I use Firefox, which has it own quirks with the new forums. Photo resizing being the biggest (as in big photos not resizing) one.

By the way, I noticed you were clever enough to match the background colour for your 3 stars, I hope you don't mind if I borrow it!

edit I'm editing this post from IE (shudder) and tab took me to the password line as you would expect it too. I'm at a loss to explain why it doesn't for you guys! /edit

Bill - I think the photo resizing thing actually is a bug... it does it across browsers it seems...

That's interesting to know! I've noticed it doesn't do it all the time, and also that quoting a post with images that the images resize to their original size during the editing stage.

I wish I could say that I was clever enough to do that but it was sheer dumb luck that it worked out that way.  But borrow away.  As for the rest; I guess life just sucks when your me sometimes.

So I found out, I've upgraded myself to Kitbashed and 4 stars, since I'm now over 1000 posts. I had originally used the 3 stars as my avatar and sized it to fit and it added jpeg artifacts to the background. When I posted the star-4.gif I discovered the background was correct. David Voss was planning ahead!

Dumb luck = clever sometimes. Sure would like to get to the bottom of the tab issue you're having!

When editing the post, where do you see a password line?  Or were you taken to the login screen which is where you were using the tab?

No, no, you misunderstand! Overkillphil can't use tab to move from the email line to the password line when he logs in. I use Firefox myself, so I logged out and back in again with IE and edited the post using IE. There is NO password line in edit mode.

Nice to see you back on the boards, feeling better?

To add to the weirdness,  I'm currently logged in on my wifes computer (mine is currently having a conniption fit) and it has the same problem.  So it isn't just my PC.
