Default logging in and hitting tab over

When I log in from the front page (www.bautforum.com), after entering my name, hitting tab doesn't take me to the password part, but to the bottom of the screen. Every other page on the internet and on this forum allows one to tab from username to password; it is annoying because it has become second nature to enter my name and password with the tab button without even looking at the screen, then I hit enter and it says my log-in attempt failed. Thanks for your consideration.

Known problem. It's caused by the username/password form being both at the top and at the bottom, with defined taborder values, so you're entering your username in the first username field, then your password in the second username field.

Just tab twice.

I tried two other vBulletin forums I've involved with, and neither of them had this problem. On the other hand, those forums don't let you visit as a guest - if you want to read any posts at all, you have to sign up.

It happens because people wanted the menu bar replicated down at the bottom of the page. So the tab order is going to the first box at the top, and then the first at the bottom.

I'll try removing the tab order entirely.

Still requires two tabs, the first takes me to the "remember me" checkbox.

Only "solution" I can think of is to duplicate the included file, change the taborder info in one and include that at the bottom.

yaa, caring peoples are here already, I have too found that tab problem, its not that tedious problem. if someone wants to insert his password he normally use tab button but what you said that you are directly going to the bottom. it is eighter way to enter into the sites, and use of mouse click found proper instead of a shortcut of tab button, since there are two ways to go top and at the bottom side.
