Fixing the damn "quick log in"

this should have been done before even making the board public, just use a placeholder rather than a value.

Code:

<div> <div> <input class="textbox default-value" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="10" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" placeholder="user name" type="text"><input style="display: none;" class="textbox" tabindex="102" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="10" type="password"> <input class="textbox default-value" tabindex="102" name="vb_login_password_hint" id="navbar_password_hint" size="10" placeholder="password" style="display: inline;" type="text"> <input class="loginbutton" tabindex="104" value="Log in" title="Enter your username and password in the boxes provided to login, or click the 'register' button to create a profile for yourself." accesskey="s" type="submit"> </div> </div>

please replace it with this!

What Art said. Why target newer browsers particularly when you can achieve the same thing with something both forward and backward compatible - namely HTML4.

Though I agree that there are a lot of flaws in this forum board.

Javascript is another alternative, even ajax too!

I am willing to throw in some JavaScript to do this in HTML4 if you still think this is an issue. Otherwise, I don't think value is hurting anyone since HTML5 browsers also have automatic password management to input your username for you.

So let me know if the JavaScript alternative is suitable for you. If there's no reply, though, I'll assume that if the sole complainer isn't here anymore, there's no reason to implement it.
