SoapBox shortcut
-
Watse of time: the sparsity of posts should tell you that neutering the Soapbox was not a good idea. Now neither is as well used as th eold one on its own. However awful the old one became (The real Soapbox[^]) at least it was fun. Oh well: as my good friend N. Tropy always says: nothing lasts forever... (My apologies for such a bad joke so early in the day).

Because I had far more important and urgent things to do I instead added a shortcut to the Soapbox. Press Ctrl and the Lounge link becomes the Soapbox link. Works better in Firefox. Always open for suggestions for more procrastination.

Works fine in IE 6 too. Hint: On mouse hover, with Lounge pressed, the caption changes to 'Soapbox'. Any similar trick into fid=two six zero five too? :)

Nope, it doesn't. I had to hold Ctrl and copy-paste the url via context menu to the address bar. Ctrl+click doesn't work.
I'm seeing the same issue. If you hover over and hit Ctrl then it sorts itself out. I'm still investigating, but from what I can tell the click event simply isn't being thrown when the Ctrl key is down in some cases.

I wasn't forced, nor do I claim I was. But Chris was ultimately forced to do something about it. I don't think the Soapbox turned out to be what he had envisioned it to be. You got your playground. You should be happy!
