Be Excellent To Each Other

Testing creating a new thread.

Edit: ooh ta Grim…, no errors returned on null subtitle.

Weird.

You didn't change anything, did you?

Worst thread ever.

*cough*

Yeah, but I didn't expect it to make any difference. Still, much hurrah.

While we are on the subject. The amount of times i've clicked on a link that has been posted, then closed the link only to realise it opened in the same tab, rather than a new tab, is a tad frustrating.
Is that an option I can change in the forum software myself, or is that an admin thingy?

I think that's actually a ‘this user is a mong’ thing Links should always (usually) open in the same tab by default; there are user shortcuts (click the scrollwheel, for example) to open links in new tabs.

DISAGREE. Offsite - new tab. Onsite - current tab.

Yay the target="_blank" debate!

Nonsense. Get fucked.

I know there are shortcuts, when I remember I use them. It always used to be that links open in the same window, due to there not being tabbed browsing. Since tabbed browsing came along a few years back, the default on virtually every forum I use is to open in a new tab.

Have I started something I shouldn't?

S'alright, I'm guaranteed to win this one

Do it.

Is there no way to make it an option at least, for us forgetful idiots, pretty please boss <tips hat>

We had this debate before. You're still wrong, I see. Good UIs are all about predictability. The user shouldn't be wondering what a given action will do, but your proposal gives them no way to know before clicking unless they make a habit of scrutinising the status bar (which may not even exist in their browser).

Surely good usability is all about not making me, the user, go "oh fuck" at least twice a day?

I win by doing nothing to the forum

Good UI on a user-centric site is all about not taking the user away from the site.

Then don't have links at all

Normally I'd agree with Malaboob, but every other forum I've used sends offsite links to a new tab, which given our demographic could mean this forum messes with user expectation.

Ultimately, I couldn't give a shit as I never click a link with the left button anyway.

/mutters something about "reply all"

In your FACE, RG!

My brain says I do my fingers don't always agree.

Remember when every other smart phone used a stylus?

Remember when you weren't ugly and smelly? No? BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN UGLY AND SMELLY.

That's because every time I fuck your wife hits me in the face with a frying pan and shits uncontrollably when she comes.

I just started laughing uncontrollably in the lift.

L-LOL
Was anyone else in there?

Now that I've recoded the GT4OC forum skins and mods I actually know my way around phpBB a bit better now, so I can probably do it now if people still want it

As we have a mafia game coming up imminently, yes!!

Oh, and if this is the recruitment thread, then IN!

12 People.

Nah, the recruitment thread is up and running in the mafiascum section at the moment.

IN!

The correct answer was "your mum".

Ctrl + Shift + T is your friend.

Ctrl?

The login problem Gaywood complained about may or may not be fixed. Every time you now launch the app when you've left it logged into a forum, it'll log you in again and then leave you in the same state as last time.

I haven't seen the problem since, but haven't spent a great deal of time with the new release yet. Any contrary experiences, Gaywood?

Still fucks up when you change connection type. Annoying.

And if you have the temerity to click anything while the loading spinner is up.

And that.
