Not a great while ago (or so it feels) user-profiles were changed (Facebook-ized?) on GTPlanet, and groups were added as well. A useful addition, but it has one flaw which certainly annoys me: Usually on GTP, pressing Tab and then Enter in the Quick Reply or Go Advanced window would post whatever text you have typed. However, pressing Tab in the commenting-window of a group or user-page probably puts the "focus" on one of the links to the home-page - because that's where I'm sent every time I do that. On top of the (small) annoyance, it erased my posts - for some reason, text in a QuickReply-style box don't reappear when clicking Back in the browser.

This is probably not such a big deal to users who click with their mouse, but I grew up with a laptop with a malfunctioning touch-thingy, and usually work with my mouse as little as possible to this day. With a couple of thousand posts (some unnecessary) under my belt, I'm automated on Tab-Enter to post...

At the same time, may I point out that Ctrl+B and the other GTP-only formatting hotkeys don't work on Chrome?
 
I can confirm (in FF 3.0.3) that the first link on the page (the "News" button) is highlighted instead of "Go Advanced" as would be expected. However, "Post Message" is logically selected when pressing tab from inside the text box. I'm not sure what would be causing the strange behavior for the Advanced button, but it may be fixed in the next version of our forum software.
