Have the cursor default to the "Body" when replying to a post.

Status: New Idea
by Occasional Contributor jennyb 3 weeks ago

Our community members have requested this therefore I am passing on their suggestion.

 

This is a pet peeve of mine and it is a very simple fix. When I click on "reply" to a post on a message board, I often begin typing as soon as the screen comes up. When I look up at the screen, there is nothing written because I have not clicked on the "Body" field on the screen. There is no reason to require users to go through that extra step! If I clicked reply, it kinda means that I want to reply, so why not just have the cursor go automatically to the field where I will type in my reply?

 

Thanks.

This has been quite annoying lately for me as well.  What's interesting i that if the page loads slowly at all, it preloads the editor, and I start typing, then it completes loading and the cursor disappears.  So I end up with the first couple words typed, then clicking again to finish typing.

Could not agree more Jenny.

This is one very annoying side of the 'body' section of msgs.

A fix for this would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!
