forum popup

[ubb]

Whenever the forum link is clicked in the main page a new browser pops up. I think that the link should just open the page instead of launching a new browser because if people wanted to still view the torrent page and the forum at the same time, they can just manually open up another browser themselves or a new tab if they're using mozilla.

Before people start their sarcasm, yes, this is meant to be a 'save two click' thread, I usually don't care about this but I don't see the point of forcing you to open up a new windows for the forum page.

I've never had that problem before. Are you using one of the Alternative sstyle? If not, you should. You can change your forum style by going to the waaaay bottom-left of the webpage and clicking on the style selection box.

He's talking about the AnimeSuki main site (the one with the torrents) and whenever you click the Forum link it does open up a new window...it does it to me also...but i have the forums as one of my favorites so i don't go to the main site just to get directed here....I just come straight here

Yea, that's right. You could add just the Forum to your favorites, like Superchop said. You could also do what I do, which is get a shortcut of the animesuki Forum main page on your desktop. That way, you don't have to open Internet Explorer in order to go to the Forums. It saves you another step.
To add a shortcut of a page to your desktop do File -> Send -> Shortcut to desktop.

Or you could just set it as your homepage. That's what I did.

I've never had that problem even when I wasn't a member. I click on forum and another window magically appears. You can do what the wise people before me say and have it bookmarked. That's what I use when I want to skip the torrents page.

Lol, but that's what he's talking about...the way i'm taking it is that whenever you click on forum on the main torrents page...he wants to forums to load in the same window...and not open up a new one

Doh!!! You're correct. I still like the set up though.

[ElvenPath]

Why not just access the forum through http://forums.animesuki.com ?

Don't know which browser you use, but if it's Opera you could just click forum link on the main page and drag it. When you drop it, it'll load the forums in the same window.

The same for firefox:
Either
a) click on the link with the middle mouse button (which opens it in a new tab) or
b) browser.block.target_new_window set to true in about:config

I use the latter. No more unwanted extra browser windows.

Is this surely no adware ? There is only one ad + i get nothing while trying...
But make sure, what kind of ad was it ?

[ato]

Mb81: Don't worry, it's just a link (the "Forum" link of course) on the main page of www.animesuki.com that opens the forums in a new window.

I agree that this is a somewhat annoying feature. I usually open it in a new tab, and one can resort to any amount of browser trickery. The question is if one should have to.

[GHDpro]

I don't really see what the problem is here. Opening the forum (a completely seperate
part of the site) in a new window is standard practice on all the sites I've build so far.

If you don't like it, just:

- Close the AnimeSuki.com window if you don't need it
- Type in "forums.animesuki.com" directly instead of "www.animesuki.com" (I do this)
- Use bookmarks/favorites

[Palani]

The question of if one should really have to is simple. Yes it is. Since these two parts of the site, torrents and forum are completely different they are to be treated as seperate websites. The one is a discussion board, the other a place to get your animé fix. And you do have seperate windows (or tabs in Mozilla) open for seperate websites do you not.

[ubb]

I think I didn't stress enough of what point I was trying to make. I use firefox and I can always open tabs, but I don't view torrent links given at the frontpage and browse the forum at the same time. If the majority of the people don't view the main site and forum at the same time then I find it pointless to force another browser running. Since this is not much of a fix and the staff here are reluctant to change this topic I will no longer pursue this suggestion.

[Raven_Zero]

I come to the forums first, Then open a new tab and goto the main page. There's really nothing to see on the main page other then whats just come out. All the action is here.

I wonder if you actually read my post. I proposed two good browser-side fixes for the situation.

The thing I'm waiting to be added to the html standards is to add a target="new_tab" parameter. It would be nice for everyone who use browsers that support tabs (which is, virtually every browser but IE)
