When you are done typing, instead of using your mouse to submit your message, simply type ALT+S and you're post will submit.

I run at 1024x768 and I always have to scroll down to hit submit, this saves me like 1.5 seconds a post. If you go on a Djaughe like posting rampage you'll save yourself minutes everyday

Okay, it works. Doesn't save me any time though. I'm right handed, so my right hand can get to the mouse faster than my left hand can get to Alt-S.

I'm old skool so I can pretty much function without a mouse. I know like 50000 short cuts using the keyboard. I used to work for a company who's idea of physical security was taking the mouse and keyboard off the server. Actually worked good, but when you had to maintence the server only the keyboard would work unless you rebooted.

So.......

Been doign that for awhile, I was shocked when it first worked because I usually use that to save documents all the time, and it worked for posting a msg!

Alt+s = save settings (control panel)

Alt+1 = forum home
Alt+2 = new posts
Alt+3 = toggles print view
Alt+4 = search
Alt+5 = faq

message editor window shortcuts:

Ctrl+b = bold
Ctrl+i = italics
Ctrl+u = underline

Alt+p = preview message
Alt+s = submit message

I do this all the time in outlook and in outlook web access. I had such a habit of doing this I figured it out by habit when I posted a message on the board quite a while ago. Very cool feature though because I try to use the mouse as little as possible.
