    Are key strokes programmable by BA so that the Escape key could be used to back out from a forum page to the previous page? To me that would be so much easier to do than move the mouse to make that happen. Just a wild thought for you to consider if it's possible. Thanks.

    Just use the backspace key. Otherwise it would be possible by implementing some javascrypt. Simply done with an event listener that could direct a person to the previous page.
    Something like so,
    $(document).keyup(function(e){
    if(e.keyCode ==27){<Command here>}// esc});

    My left finger is usually resting next to the Escape key on my keyboard, but my right finger is on the mouse, and I'm lazy and that's why I asked for this feature. :wink: Thanks for the workaround recommendation, but #1, I don't understand that stuff, and #2, I'm too lazy to figure it out. But I'll survive without using the Escape key. :grinning:
