Please could you sort the hyperlink on the main site for 'Forums' so that it opens another tab (or preferably re-uses same tab) rather than opening a new window?
Thank you.
Thank you.
No, I don't think so. I've got it set to reuse windows when tabbed browsing is off.
I think a new window is being forced in the link.
Opening into another tab is a browser setting.
I presume the forum link is set to, open a new window rather than using the parent window, i'll take a look,
But the forums are a separate entity to the rest of the site. So we have it so people don't browse away from the main site.

I browse using tabs, Mark. It's not opening into another tab. It's opening in a window on its own.
It won't open in another tab unless you tell it to open new links in tabs, thats a browser only setting. Nowt I can do about that.
But if i set it to open in parent window, it should just open in the page your using. But that's not really a fix. Because it means were changing something we have had set for ages to suit a problem that could be fixed with a preference change.

For example on the Mac. If i want to open a new link in a new tab.
I hold down the Apple () Key and click the link, or right click the link and open in new tab.

Works in Firefox like that too. Firefox also has the option in the tabs preferences to open new pages in a tab.
I can see the logic there.
How about a separate button for forum members to return to the forum. Otherwise, it's a bit of a pain to visit the main site.

Don't see the need. When you can open the link in a separate tab.
There is a link back to the main site at the top of the main forum listings anyway.
And at the bottom of every single forum page.

Ok, I'll try again, in case I'm explaining myself badly. (and apologies if it's me!)
I'm in a browsing session with a number of tabs open. (IE7)
One of the tabs is the SCN Forum.
I want to go to the main site, so I follow the link through.
The Main site is now on the tab that the forum was previously on.
I want to return to the forum.
I click forums, and it opens in a new window.
I now have a session open with all the tabs I'm working on. The forum is now on its own in a separate window.
Also while were on the subject, Z, is there any way of making the new posts drop down tap more pocket pc friendly, my pda uses windows mobile 5.0 and cant use the view new posts tabs.
To get round that, I have
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/search.php?do=getnew
As a mobile favourite.
It's down to the way that PocketIE copes with certain languages and DHTML, rather than the forum (although using different menu code would avoid it). I still find it crazy that earlier versions of PIE supported JScript, but NOT VBScript, and they still don't support DHTML (a Microsoft standard).
Not unless you know anyone who has the time to rewrite vB templates, and then set the tables up so i can make the graphics fit.
