I wonder if anyone else cares about this small "convenience"... when clicking on a link, the new website page replaces the LeftyBassist page. Hitting the back-button brings you back to the LeftyBassist page. I prefer to see the link/new page in a new tab, so I can click back-and-forth between the new Tab/page and LeftyBassist Tab, for reference etc. To do this now, I hold down (on my MacBook Pro) the Command button and click the link, which opens it in a new Tab. It would be nice to click on a link and have it automatically open in a new Tab (TalkBass has that feature). Not a big deal, and don't know how much work to the internal code it would require.... but just wondering if anyone else has thoughts on this "feature"... |

It might be a limitation of the messageboard software. I use Firefox and have a add-on literally called 'Open Link in New Tab'. Works perfectly. |

phpBB should be capable of allowing the administrator to change this setting. I'm on several phpBB boards and others do have this setting activated. |

I completely disagree with this "convenience". It is a hinderance and I cannot stand websites that implement such a feature. Opening a link in a new tab is easy on any modern browser. Command/CNTRL click and you are done. Easy. Even on my smartphone, opening a link in a new tab without a keyboard is relatively simple. Consider the behavior of the site if such a "feature" was implemented. How would it be possible to open a link in the same tab? That's right, you CANNOT. Say I am reading my final post on leftybassist.com and I am ready to move on after following a final link. Sorry bud, you must now close two windows. This feature reduces flexibility. Why remove functionality (which this proposed feature does) when a solution already exists? /RANT |
