Per Audacia Ad Astra

Here are two improvements I am suggesting;
1. Anchor the screen so the entire New Topic or New Post Body is visible
This is what I see every time I reply to a post. I have to scroll down every time.
Rather than having to scroll down every time I post, make the page automatically anchor the view to show the 'Subject' and 'Body' text fields in their entirety.

2. A Hot-key to 'Submit' the New Topic or Post.
Do you think I'm getting lazy? Having to move the mouse from the text field to 'Submit'? Maybe I am, but I'm on my laptop.
You could suggest I get a USB Mouse or stop being lazy, but what's against a Hot-key being made available?
Can any Google Chrome Extension creators build such a tool so I can program one of the keyboard's function keys to 'Submit'?

Your feedback is appreciated.

I feel like your first "problem" is just you lacking a decent sized monitor. Your second suggestion is a waste of resources, imo. The webteam's time could be spent on something much better.

I think your suggestions apply to a lazy lifestyle.

For your first problem, just click Ctrl - a few times. Second is you being lazy.

All you need is more monitor space man.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Drummer summed up my thoughts on this pretty well. I don't have a problem with how either of these things are currently handled and I've been pretty much exclusively been posting from a laptop lately.

Ha, nice! I tried that but I didn't see an outline around the buttons and the url display field was lagging. Good find.

Aw man! You're talking about application.
My thoughts were more along the lines of;
1. Have a new game to discuss

2. Have a new game to discuss

That would be the only thing that would improve forum interaction - people to people. Lately, there's nothing to talk about.
