I'll give Mozilla a try. I usually browse with IE6 as it's the default in
work, occasionally I switch to Opera. Haven't tried Mozilla yet.
Don't worry, I know the right mouse click, but the back button often does
not work as it should. Besides, when you're after seeing 20 odd pages on a
site the back button is not the most efficient way to get back...
Maybe I should make a poll, just to see how people check out the nominees,
'cause somehow I feel I'm not the only one who likes to open them in a
separate window...

I often check out those sites and find it annoying the take
over the Lugnet window, making it tricky to get back.

Using the back button doesn't work for you?

Hm... you may want to consider getting a new browser if those features
aren't working.

I'd prefer that Lugnet(tm) NOT decide that a new window is needed. Let • me
choose for myself whether I want one or not. Sometimes I do, sometimes I
don't

Ya, what Larry said.

Ronald, I'm curious what web browser you're using.

Currently, the best web browser (IMHO) is the latest Mozilla with tabbed
browsing.  And in the Preferences > Navigator > Tabbed Browsing dialog, • you
can even check [x] Load links in the background -- which doesn't really • load
them in the background, but means that it opens them in a new tab but • doesn't
switch to that tab until you click on it.  That way it can start loading • while
you continue on the current page.  I use it all the time to pull up • multiple
windows in rapid succession, let them all load, and then go through them • one
by one.  It's awesome -- you should try it!  It's so fast and beautiful!

(...) Were you aware that both Netscape and IE let you pull down a history from the back button? I use it all the time to go back more than one page. Much quicker than closing 20 windows... Frank (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
