Yesterday, I got this v. unexpected request:
Is there any way you can program links so that a new window opens? It’s so frustrating to click on a link and then have to back page to your site again, once I finish at the link site. It would be very helpful! Thanks, Anne
I say unexpected, because I’ve seriously cursed out websites for doing the exact thing Anne is asking me to make green LA girl do.
I hate hate HATE it when a website force-opens another window when I click on a link. To me, that’s akin to pop-up ads.
But clearly, others don’t feel the same way. How do you feel ’bout the new-window / same-window option? Lemme know in the survey –
Poll closes at the end of the day Monday, Aug. 11, 2008.
In the meantime, I suggest that you download Firefox (if you haven’t already), then right click and select “Open Link in New Tab” for any other page you want to open while staying on green LA girl. Prob solved.
yup, firefox is the way to go. keep things as is.

or read your blogs in bloglines- all links open in new windows.
Cheers!

Keep as is. I just right click to open new window

I’d keep it as is - I use Safari on a mac and I just command+click everything to open in a new tab.

Not sure if the comments should be counted as additional votes to the poll, or double votes….
