Well the title got your attention !!

Right theres a billion things on SR forums that all annoy me the same.
frikkin links!!!

I HATE offsite links not opening new windows/tabs.
Fairy snuff onsite links remaining in the same window thats, thats a given and a damn good idea.  but offsite?

On phpBB any links posted in a siggy or post will automatically fire a new window unless the client has set it otherwise.
Could you employ a similar function on here?

Honestly, its a good idea.

I think i saw a function on direct drive that forces offsite links to open a new window.

Rant over.

thanks

What -- you don't like using the back button / arrow at the top of the browser?

Shift click, new window. Control click, new tab (IE7 & FF).

Somehow I don't think that's what you're after...

either that or middle click in firefox

its pretty simple to mod PunBBs post parser to do just what you're asking

I agree with griff,

Now it's ingrained in me to right-click and choose 'open in new window'

Why don't i use then back button?

Simple - the link i follow may be a good reference, i may want to follow more links within that new page, even log in. maybe i get to to one of those pages where you can't use the back button cos of those silly JS redirects.

Most importantly, I don't want to be away from SR long enough to be logged out of SR!

YEah, thats actually been rubbing me the wrong way to... i like staying on SR and following the other links without worrying about clicking the back button many... many times. I wont lie though, it is a built in mecanism to right click and open in a new tab now so im over it i guess? Good rant though Griff

I agree and do the same as Northie does. right click  then new tab...

yeah, but right clicking to open in a new tab narks me!!

I cant count how many "reviews please" post links ive followed, then clicked around the site abit. When i realise ive lost SR to a history of about 20 pages, i lose my rag and shut the window. resulting in a narked off naffing off to some other site or to read my email while i calm down abit.

i know its only a little thing, but its the little things that get my goat.

Like the youngest and middle fighting behind me as the eldest sings out of tune at his mp3 player while i type this
SHUT THE **** UP!!!!!!!!

gotta go, need mogadon or something.............................

the new window was implemented for site reviews links

I imagine if you pm Nic and beg he will do it for all other links as well

hehe no need to beg, as i 2 think its a good idea...it shall be done when i update the site shortly

Is it done yet Nic... I mean... sheesh. God knows you have nothing to do all day! hahahahha

LOL...i think someone is looking to help me tackle my never-ending, extensive "to do" list....on a purely "just for being a heck of a guy" (no-fee) basis

PS. I wouldn't exactly call chasing small animals around my backyard all day "nothing". Oooo...look at the pretty squirrels....

Oh yeah... that's Stitch allright.....

No fee?!?!?!?

What do you think this is? Some kind of slave-labor camp?!?

What part of - "I've got two ki......." oh never mind.

Meh, I'd do it myself, if I actually knew how to mod the php. Or is this just a .......

again, never mind.

Lets not lose sight of whats important here... we should stop talking finances and focus on imporrtant things...
now where were we... oh yeah... stitch has squirrels purdy.... i wish i had squirrels but theyd just get eaten by something bigger that looks like it has rabbies if they were in my backyard just cant trust family all the time i guess he he he

So how do we know when the update is done Nic?

Just clicked my first offsite link and lo and behold!!!

Excellent work people. thank you.  you've made a cantankerous man very happy!

Shweet, new tabs/windows for everyone
