Forum Issue: Intercepting browser functionality

I’m not sure where else to put this. I think it’s completely unacceptable for this forum to intercept my browsers Ctrl-F find function. I do a browser keyboard combination and expect the browser to handle it. I’ve honestly never experienced this on another site before, and this is a rule that should never be broken by web developers. Please let me know if you have a better place for me to place this message.

Hello @dimbadger, welcome to the forums.

I’m sorry to read that the games forum’s are overriding your browsers Ctrl+F function, I understand how it can be frustrating when a website changes the expected behaviour of a feature such a keyboard shortcut; in this case, this system is in place as the default search function of a browser may not work on threads that have several replies as your browser will not load every reply at once when you open it, it is possible to use your browser’s default Ctrl+F search function by using the shortcut twice.

Also thank you for providing this feedback and I will be sending your comments to our team so it can be taken into consideration.

Hope this information helps, have a good day in Aeternum.
