Re. the whole link/page opening thing. By default, my mouse middle button opens things in new tabs. Except here, it seems, and a few other sites that I tend not to visit any more. It drives me nuts. I hate having a new window open when my default is a new tab. Just my tuppence worth.

That's interesting Prof as my middle click still opens in a new tab here, what theme/browser are you using?

Has the problem not been fixed? Any link I left click opens in a new tab.
I'm using Google Chrome.

What problem?
And for those of you that asked, there's now a gaming forum.

The one where you click on a link somebody has posted, and it opens in the same tab as the forum instead of a new one. Is that not what was being discussed, or am I yet again slow on the uptake?

Safari 3.2.1 (typical bloomin' Mac Users, eh?) Firefox doesn't seem to have the issue.

Yet again slow on the uptake  That was resolved yesterday, and all links should now open in a new window/tab. Try Me

In XHTML 1.1 Strict, it’s gone. In XHTML 1.1 Transitional, it is allowed. The XHTML spec says that the user should control how/when the browser opens new windows. No mention of a text warning, as far as I am aware. Using the target attribute in a link will cause a validation fail.

Yup, new window instead of a new tab, like my prefs say it should. Bizarre.

Typical. I'm totally strung out and dozy at the moment. Slept in this morning and very nearly missed one of my pupil's test this morning. Thankfully we made it in time, she wasn't angry with me, and she passed.

I see, apologies as thats because of some of my coding on the forums. Afraid that's going to stay like it is for the time being, sorry!

Having just read the film thread, would it be possible to add a spoiler control? I know it's yet another feature to a rapidly expanding set, and we need to be careful to avoid niche features and bloat, but I reckon it could be useful. An example plug-in is here. As always, it's not an urgent or important one, just a thought for once the basic stuff is stable. Edd

Cool, with 10.5.7 round the corner, I can hang on for the full Safari 4 release.

This is not a moan, but is it worth considering making the board index seem less cluttered?
I'm thinking:
The Meeting Place
In the News
PC
> Hardware
> Software
Mac
> Hardware
> Software
Open Source
Hifi/AV
Photography
Gaming
We also used to have a fair amount of discussion in the old MacUser forum about hiving off an iTunes/iPod/iPhone section.
