POLL: Should external links automatically open in a new tab?

Post by Boothand »

Topic reference: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=389

The way it currently works: Left click means you go directly to the page, middle mouse opens it in a new tab.

The function in question: Left click on an external link opens a new tab next to the current one and you are moved to that tab. Middle mouse just opens it in a new tab like normally.

Nice way to convert this in a ridiculous and unserious topic.

Looks like you gave it to the wrong spiderman. The guy behind the desk doesn't seem to be the same as on the picture. Or are they related (for example the son having a picture of his father in his office)?

I think it's a window, not a picture.

I had hoped for a bigger contrast in either direction. With the amount of 'No' answers, it feels controversial. Though we agreed to poll it, and thanks for the reminder - yaa'll have until the end of tomorrow and we'll call it a day.
