(...) What changes/improvements would anyone like to see on the PT to make it easier to slog through the 1500 files currently out there? I'm open to any ideas at this point - reiterate old ideas, bring up new ones. But think about what pages, (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I thought of another one... In the "My Reviews" page, I want the option of seeing **just** my "no vote" (i.e., abstain) reviews.

I would suggest that when you click on a part from the tracker list that it would open up in a new window so that the list would still be available in the other window.

(...) Or, as an alternative to right-clicking, you can also drag'n'drop part-links to a second browser window. Assuming you have enough space on your screen. For me, dragging tends to be easier to remember dragging than right-clicking. Steve (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
