I love HN and spend way too much time on here.
Three things that disappoint me:
* dog-pile downvoting on comments that are valid but that others may merely disagree with
* the practice of killing apparently valid stories with no explanation
* no 'target=' user preference so that external links could show up in another tab/window if so desired
- aneth 16y agoHold apple or alt when clicking on a link to open in a new frame.
- nuclear_eclipse 16y agoOr middle click in just about every browser newer than IE6...
- sabat 16y agoWell, yeah. I just want it to be the default instead of having to remember to hold down the command key to open in a new tab. It's a petty complaint, I do realize. :-)
- aneth 16y agoIf they put a target, it would drive me crazy, particularly on my iPad. Without a target, you decide, just like you do on every other web page.
- sabat 16y agoI'm suggesting something different: that there is an option in user preferences that would let you pick whether you get a new target or not. Default off.
- jonny_noog 16y agono 'target=' user preference so that external links could show up in another tab/window if so desired I have always seen a default option to open links in the same window as a small but definite signal that a site is more geared towards technical people who know how to open a new tab/window if and when they want one. I'm so used to mouse gesturing a line up across a link to open it in a new window, I often confuse myself when I'm using a browser without this capability.
