Suggestion for the MOTD
My suggestion: When there are links in the MOTD, set them so that they open in a new window. This should be simple enough, right?
Heck, my level of computer coding skill is 'basic HTML', and I could code for this:
<a href="link URL" target="blank">linkname</a>

Yep, its really buggin when you check the link and forget to go back so you close the window and end up having to open up planetarion again...

Re: Suggestion for the MOTD
No. No. No.
Basic rule of web designing - its my browser, and if I want it open in a new window then I'll do it myself. What about people that don't want this?
Hint: Get firefox and you can middle click to open links in a new tab.

Maybe that's the basic rule for webdesigners, but for normal people that can be very irritating.
Opening stuff in a new window can be very usefull, especially for the motd, so pa is always opened.

Re: Suggestion for the MOTD
There was a previous discussion on this. The consensus was that if you wanted to open it in a new window you could. If you forced it to open in a new window, firefox and opera users got irritated as they couldn't open it in a new tab.

Re: Suggestion for the MOTD

Re: Suggestion for the MOTD
Im of the opinion that new windows should rarely be used - the back button is there for a reason.
A problem arises when you browse the forum subsequently, but if you just read the one page then went back to PA, theres no reason for a new window.
