Things that need to be added/changed here - add your suggestions

It's just detail, but I miss being able to use a keyboard shortcut for submitting a post.

Cheers - Bob

EDIT 2015-12-16: When using the basic editor, just hit tab enter to submit.  In the Advanced editor, you're stuck with using a mouse scroll - a keyboard shortcut would be welcome!

Navigation: If I edit a post, I have to go back three (4?) pages to get to the next topic. If I make a new post I have to go two pages back.. This is accomplished with a single page back in vBulletin.

Hey Ian,

Is this what you're looking for?

One more suggestion from me:
When you edit your post there is no information that the post was edited, how many times and the time stamp of last edited version. Useful when you want to see if the OP changed his post after subsequent replies.

A new laundry list after being here for an hour today:

1. When I first went to login, I got a message that I needed to enable cookies.  I immediately clicked on the link saying I'd done that and was taken straight to the login screen.  2015-11-24: This seems to have been resolved for me.  Possibly a browser issue.
2. At one point, I touched something, the page blinked and the Reply I'd written was erased with no way to retrieve it.
3. In a thread, a Reply posts to a new page.  In Messages, a reply posts to the same page, just as everything does in vBulletin. The technique used in Messages is preferable as it allows quicker and easier navigation.  If I notice an error in a Reply I've just added to a thread, I then have to go back four pages with attendant waits.
4. An added hassle is that it positions you at the top of the page instead of looking at your newly-entered Reply.
5. In vBulletin, one could add [CODE] and [URL] tags in the regular editor.  Here, there's no way to add a link with a title without going to the Advanced Editor which takes extra time.  I attempted to use HTML in the regular editor and totally confused it.
6. I've already complained that the Advanced Editor is too tiny as is the font it uses for the text I enter.  This is because I shrink the page to 75% to make the other posts use a font small enough to be legible.  Others have complained about the inefficient use of space here related to this issue.
7. The seems to be a glitch in the code for the Advanced Editor: in one post today, I linked to https://www.astaro.org/gateway-products/general-discussion/49065-rulz.html.  As you can see, it failed to render this as Rulz even though I added that as the title.
8. After I submitted posts today, it took seven seconds for the Reply to appear.
9. We need an option in Settings to always see all posts even if one has been labeled "Answer" by the OP.
10. The hardware this runs on is still underpowered.
11. If there's a way to get to the communities from www.sophos.com, I'm not creative enough to find it.
12. In Ruckus' post also pinned to the top of this forum, I couldn't get page 2 to complete with a next-page arrow at the bottom.  When I tried to go to page 4 manually by altering the URL in the browser, I got timed out.  That thread may be broken, but it's hard to say as there are no other threads that long anywhere.

One of the primary design criteria for this community MUST become making it easier for the answerers.  Plainly, that was not a part of the original specification and represents a serious error by the person that made the initial decisions and set the direction for the developers.

As each of the issues in this forum is addressed, someone needs to come back to the entry where the suggestion was made and indicate that it has been finished.  In fact, rather than this informal method, I would have expected professional developers to have a ticketing system in place.

This was mentioned briefly here community.sophos.com/.../31878 by Emile. This forum is more of a question/answer format where users ask questions and if a sophos mod/employee feels like answering, he/she will answer and mark the thread as answered.
This is not a community forum. Community forum is used to develop ideas and come to a solution that does not exist in the company's how to guides. At the rate that the development is going on this forum, I really don't see them moving to anything else beyond what you see here. They will integrate some of the suggestions the best they can but not even having a cohesive structural breakdown of topics that was discussed more than a week ago in the thread community.sophos.com/.../10872 doesn't give me a lot of confidence.
I visit this site about once a week with my fingers crossed and not a single thing has changed other than the related content pop-up that was removed very early on. Really disappointing... but it is what it is and at the end, its sophos who can determine what is best for them... not the community.

P.S. By the way it is taking about 5 seconds after I click on anything. Don't know if it is routing/ISP issues or the server is overloaded already :(

Spellchecker language selection is limited

In a German thread, most of my German was marked as misspelled, so I right-clicked on one of the "misspelled" words, selected 'Language', 'More' and was presented with 22 choices from "English (Australia)" to "French (Switzerland)" - the list didn't scroll.

I'll add two more to the list of things that need improving.

1) Allow me to turn off Notifications. I came back from a weekend out of town to find over 3000 notifications (mostly chinese spam) sitting in the dropdown (lightning bolt icon) at the top right. I've already disabled live alert on all my events but that drop down keeps filling up.

2) Give me a way to mark all as read. Clicking mark as read for 20 entries at a time is irritating when there's a few hundred notifications I don't want (see above). Now when there's several thousand...

I registered here with the same email address as the old astaro.org site, but someone has used my astaro.org username on their profile. Does that mean that the migrated historical posts will use everyone's new profile username? That's pretty obnoxious.

One feature that I used a lot was the ability to add tags in the regular editor without having to [Go Advanced]. There needs to be a switch in 'Settings' that allows a member here to be able to add HTML without going to the rich formatting editor and selecting the HTML icon.

For example, I used [URL="https://www.astaro.org/gateway-products/general-discussion/49065-rulz.html"]Rulz[/URL] to generate a hyperlink to the Rulz.
