Forum Logon Screen

I have a minor gripe with the login screen: after entering my username I should be able to press tab to get to the password input, instead it goes to 'want to register?' first. It's a 'breaks website karma' kinda thing.

There are three different logins, are you using the right one? There is the forum login, Winamp.com login (for skin/plug reviews and online playlists) and the Winamp Remote login. The forums login is located near the bottom right of Winamp Forums main page.

Sorry I must not be clear

. Do you ever use the tab button to move from one input box to the next? I do, and I'd like the focus to shift from the username box to the password box when I press tab. Here I'll attach an image. Currently tab changes focus from red to yellow then to green in that order. It should change from red to green though. I prefer to not have to move my hand to and from the mouse when I'm entering forms (even simple user/pass forms) and not being a touch typist I can't look at the screen while I type, so I can get easily caught out when incorrect z-order of form objects causes tab to move the focus illogically.

OK, I get it now. I agree it would be helpful if it advanced to the next input box, especially for accessibility users. As I am just a mod, I can't make changes like that. The important thing is you have posted and made note of the issue.
