If you press alt + 1 2 3 (I have only tried this with the number pad),while looking at a certain thread you get this page

Click on it to get full size...

In fact, pressing alt + various things, does...various things. This happened to me when I tried to do some alt codes on here...

EDIT: This is what it gets to
https://www.physicsforums.com/printthread.php?t=145470
It says "printthread", so I am guessing that it's the printer friendly version?

I can't seem to replicate this on the newest version of firefox or IE7. what you are seeing is the printer version, you can also get to is by the thread tools dropdown.
 
I can replicate this but I get the PF image, not Chef Success.
 
I thought I remember a thread about this a while back, but I cannot seem to duplicate it (Firefox 2.0, win xp)
 
I cleared my Cache and now have the PF image.

Yeah, the only reason why I thought it could be a bug is because it was the Chef thing...

Oh yeah, and the reason why you aren't able to duplicate it might be because you are pressing 123 too slow... Even if I type it really fast, it doesn't always work. I have to do it in one quick motion for it to actually go to the page.

EDIT: I thought I checked this earlier, but this works with alt 3... The only reason it worked with 123 was because it was just fast enough to only take the 3 into account.
