Forums in a new window

[Cazbol]

I would like to express my dismay over the new feature on the Org's front page. Clicking on the Forums link will now pop up a new window for that page while keeping the front page in the old window.

I just hate it when sites do that. It feels like I'm being told what I should do in a very Microsoft kind of way. If I want a new window I can just start a new window myself.

I am aware of the possibility of closing the first window but that will annoy me enough in the long run to get me to move my bookmark from the front page to the forums page, which would mean I'd generally miss the news on the front page.

I truly hope this will be changed back to the way it was.


P.s. This should probably be moved to the Watch Tower.
P.s.s. I know there are wars, famine and a president name Bush out there, but the Tavern is taking care of those problems.

I kinda like websites that keep the main window open and spawn a new one for sub tasks. Sometimes I will have eight or twelve pages open at a time if I am doing a big project. I even have my Google set up to spawn a new window on each request. My answer for bypassing the MTW.org main site is just to have a bookmark to the forum in my taskbar of Netscape. That way I get there in one click.

I prefer Mozilla where you can open tabs... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Same here. I am using Opera which prevents pop-ups, but the forum still opens right up.

i think maybe someone has changed this back as internet explorer works fine, altho to anyone out there who seems to be having the problem then i would suggest getting one of the browers that uses tabbed windows within the main window like Opera or Mozilla, or for those you like to use IE ?? then get the Crazy Browser which is a new front end for IE and a lot more pleasant http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I seems to be back to normal again, as it no longer happens to me. Praise the..... whoever did it

At job : I have W98, & everything remains in the same window.

At home : I have XP, & it opened a window last time I tried.

but my final point is I don't care. I like to adapt.
