Should hyperlinks open in a new tab/window by default

I feel that the first sentence could have been omitted without losing any context

Also we needed a proper debate over all the pros and cons, before we casted our votes! We need a leader for each party, then to throw mud, lie about the benefits of one over the other, like X amount will go on the NHS or the economy will be in a better shape… Blah blah blah.

Then and only then can we vote on a set date in the future. Then after the vote we can complain for a bit longer and ask for a revote, while slagging each other off and sulking!

I really think this is what is needed on this site at the moment.

Let’s put this to the test. Which do you prefer?

http://www.notnews.org - opens over your current tab.

http://www.notnews.org - opens a new tab.

exciting times!

Or just redirect you to SaintsWeb while Baj is on one of his “epic quests for dollar”.

From time to time, he completely rolls the dice on his advertisers, redirecting you to a porn site via SaintsWeb.

After all the squeamishness about swearing (“a kid might see it!”), they redirected people to fucking porn sites. Because that’s better.

Young Saints fans can’t say fuck, but they can be automatically be directed to explicit hardcore porn.

I prefer having no ads and being able to say what the fuck we like :lou_sunglasses:

I have been able to stoop lower than that but it was not polite company :lou_lol:

I don’t really care about this issue, but felt it important that I vote for turnout statistics. I voted Fk you guise because I feel I need more edge to my personality.

I was going to add ‘you cunts’ on the end of that last sentence to prove my new found edginess but I just couldn’t do it, I’ve got as much edge as a tennis ball.

Explain 4 days for the proper football?

Saints is the proper football regardless of what league we are in

A heathen

Another burning required

You, sir, are so bleeding edge that you’ve bleed them off.

Not opening a NEW WINDOW when clicking on a website link is COMMERCIAL SUICIDE for the website. You are navigating away from the base website and for the average webuser (say 52%) with the attention span of a goldfish they’ll never remember where they were before clicking.

Yes, yes I know they can click on the back-button of the browser but will they?..OK yes the 48% can manage that but it still leaves that pathetic majority who will never visit that website again.

This is basic web developers creed…set your defaults to cater for the majority.

JUST DO IT!

Hopefully democracy will win the day on this one, the votes so far are overwhelmingly in favour of new tabs.

Will Pap resign now he doesn’t have the forum’s mandate? Will Bletch win the leadership unchallenged? Will he then delay implementing Clause New Tab until the end of 2017?
