Opening articles in new tabs. Hard to upvote/downvote submissions later.
On hacker news, and some other sites, I right click and "open link in new tab" on every article that I think might be interesting. I don't want to up-vote or down-vote the article until after I've actually read it, yet, I'm unlikely to come back to the source of the headline minutes/hours/days later, search for the thing that I clicked on, so that I can up-vote or down-vote the submission. How could/should Hacker News or other sites deal with this behavior? (and please don't tell me to stop doing it, because I'm not going to stop doing this.)
- masonic 9y agoJust right-click on "Discuss" first. Then, click through to the submission. Back-arrow takes you back to the discussion page for that article.
- CarolineW 9y agoI right click first on "Discuss" and then on the article itself. Then I can refresh the discussion later and flip between them. Alternatively, as masonic says, open the discussion in the new tab and click through from there.
