Inside Post Navigation


The following post originally made in the Announcements Forum gave me this idea...

But why? lol.. I dunno how anyone else is, but if I want a link to open in a new window/tab, I just right click the link and have it open in one...

I could kind of see having non-site links opening in a new tab/window.. but not board to board.. there was a little phase going on with some boards, where they made the runboard/home link open in a new tab.. so you were either stuck on their board, or closed their boards tab.. I try to multi-task a little.. and sometimes have several tabs open at once.. so it gets confusing when you start having a lot of stray tabs.

Now in most cases I find myself in agreement with this and like to see links open in a new window but there is the case of links used inside a post which point to other topics or posts on the same board and in those cases I would love to see a inside post navigation link that would open inside the same window instead of opening a new tab or window on each click.

Examples where this is a good idea:
1. RPG games where character posts would be inside the same board.
2. Online rules where each rule has its own topic/post.
3. Board events listings (such as a birthday list) where the user wants to go back to the main list to make sure they didn't miss anyone.

In all of those cases having a In Board Link option of opening in the same window is a much better idea than having the links open into a new tab or window.

Re: Inside Post Navigation


Thank you for the reminder, Rick. This is pretty much why I said what you quoted above. As with your rules example, this could also be good for the index of help topics at Illusia, the category indexes at TRD, and the handbook you are creating (which probably prompted your post).

Here is another consideration, which agrees with this idea...

The above will work in a post, but the link will open in a new window. Why should it, when the link leads to a post on the very same page you are reading right now?
