Linking....

[Geronimous]

Something I noticed and has been bugging me for some time now:

Often, links from the site do not open in new windows. Not only is that frustrating when I close those windows, mistakingly thinking that these are new windows. So often I have to re-open my browser and head back to hl2.net

It is common knowledge that it is best to let your site (especially the newsposts) open links in a new window. If people are interested in the link you provided and click on in that site, you have lost a visitor.

Perhaps something to think about? Make all navigation outside the site itself open up in new windows.

Something I was thinking about today actually. I think it's a good idea, I was gonna suggest it to SM and Munro, but you stole it!!!!

/me bans Geronimous for stealing :E

Sorry I didn't notice this before. I have an awful habit of opening new windows manually using the right mouse button

The links will all be fixed shortly.

• I dislike right-clicking every link and pick Open in New Windows
• my middle mouse button is taken by MouseWare: it is a DoubleClick for me. so the Firefox middle-mouse doesnt work

Hmm.. so it's a rapid fire mouse button?
Or can you set it back to normal?
