Alt S

[Warbaby1943]

By letting your mouse hover over the "Quick reply" button it shows that using "Alt S" should post the reply. This is not working for me no matter which computer I use. It used to work but no longer does. Does it work for anyone else?

[Rhabbi]

If this is here, it worked for me.

[~hellish one~]

testing

edit: yep...works for me too Wb!

[Guest 91108]

no didnt work


LOL

[Warbaby1943]

I know it used to work and have no idea why it no longer does. I have tried it on 5 computers too.

[precious]

Doesn't work for me either WB!

[Warbaby1943]

Doesn't work for me either WB!

Maybe if Rabbit1 sees this he'll have a suggestion.

[~hellish one~]

might wanna PM him just to be on the safe side, Wb! i know he'd want to help if he saw this thread but just in case he misses it...better to be on the safe side and send him a quick PM. :)

Thanks I think I'll do that.

wonders if it depends on the browser that is being used.... WB what browser do you use? i use firefox....

[annie]

testing the thought

Ok... in firefox it didn't work... in explorer it did....

Not sure that truly answers the questions but at least we now know that is one difference (at least on my computer... lol.)

I have IE 6 which is continually being updated. Maybe one of the latest security patches made it no longer function. It is not only just in this forum that Alt S doesn't work either.

[~hellish one~]

i use Firefox and it works for me in both FF and IE.

[Warbaby1943]

i use Firefox and it works for me in both FF and IE.

OK but what version of IE?

[~hellish one~]

whoops! lol sorry. yeah i have IE7 and the latest update for FF as well.

[Warbaby1943]

whoops! lol sorry. yeah i have IE7 and the latest update for FF as well.

Thanks I thought that may be the case. I'm just not ready for IE 7 yet. Still read too many bad things about it in some cases.

[Warbaby1943]

whoops! lol sorry. yeah i have IE7 and the latest update for FF as well.
baby girl,

Under your Internet Options - Advanced Tab – Microsoft VM is you is your Java console enabled option checked?

Under your Internet Options - Advanced Tab – Microsoft VM is you is your Java console enabled option checked? If you even have this in IE 7 which I don't know.

[~hellish one~]

yep!

[Warbaby1943]

yep!


Thanks I'll give that a try and see if it makes a difference. It takes a reboot so I'll do it later.

[~hellish one~]

good luck!!

[Warbaby1943]

Nope didn't work, damn it. Gotta be some reason because it used to work now it does not on any of my computers. I'm sure it must be some security update that cause the problem.

Thanks again for looking.

[~hellish one~]

well really, i know you are wary about upgrading to IE7 but i haven't had any problems with it at all since i upgraded and i was even bold enough to try it out when it was still in it's beta version.

perhaps that might help? it's not really that different. it's a lot like FF now (i dunno if you've ever used FF) the main difference from IE7 and older versions is the tabbed browsing which i find very useful.

I just wrote a buddy of mine who does a ton of beta testing for MS. I'll see what he has to say about it. I already have the Tabbed option with my IE 6 and I agree I like it a lot.

By the way Warbaby, thanks for the tip. it sure speeds up my posting time not having to reach for the mouse everytime I want to make a new post.

You're welcome I just wish I could get mine working once more.

[Warbaby1943]

Nope, just installed IE 7 and still Alt S does not work.

[Rabbit1]

if it used to work and now it does not ---then it may be a security setting that was updated ----I had one security setting that changed my browser ---that did not let new pages update ----so I keep seeing what the last page I viewed was ----so when I published new stories on the story page they did not appear to me -----had to call tech support for my browser ---and they told me to check some setting ---I did and that was the problem

I have been using IE7 since it came out in Beta testing ---and it works great ---for IE---but I use firefox most of the time ---I do like it better

Thanks Rabbit1 and I saw the PM too. I can't find a thing different or anything blocking it as far as my firewall is concerned. I don't see any security settings that have changed either but could be I'm not looking in the right places.

[Rabbit1]

We might have it set to work for everyone but Buckyeyes ----lol

[Warbaby1943]

You did a good job then because I still can't figure out what is wrong that it doesn't work.

[annie]

i'm not a buckeye and it doesn't work for me either! *pouts*

[Warbaby1943]

There has to be some common cause. I wish I could find it. Installing IE 7 sure didn't help.

[Rabbit1]

and you would think the Forum God would know ----Have you tried turning off your fire wall and trying it?----if it works without your fire wall on then it is a security setting it the firewall

[Warbaby1943]

Yes I have tried that and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Rabbit1]

do you log out then back in --or just leave the site?

[Warbaby1943]

Just leave the site or sometimes it times out when I am reading a lengthy post. I can try logging out and see if that makes a difference. I'll report back when I try it.

[Warbaby1943]

OK I logged out and then came back so I'll try Alt S and see. Nope still doesn't work.

[Rabbit1]

are you pressing the + also ---you have to hit the alt and the plus and the S

[Warbaby1943]

I'll try that. No it didn't work either.
