Would it be possible to add in functionality so that links to external websites open in a new window, or even better, allow this to be set on your user profile?
|
|
|
|
|
Check your browser preferences. There's an option to open external links in a new tab.
|
|
|
|
|
Couldn't find browser preferences for my CodeProject account - I guess you must be referring to the browser I'm using. To be honest, I couldn't find the setting to open a link to an external site in a new window, though to be honest I probably wouldn't want all my external links being opened in such a way.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, for a new browser window, try shift then click on the link.
|
|
|
|
|
In FF, holding down Ctrl before clicking on link will open a new tab.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, you can certainly use such a method (right-clicking and using Open in a New Tab is another) but the amount of times I've forgotten to do this, gone to an external site, read the article and then shut it down before realising that it was on my codeproject "thread"... it really is annoying!!!

That doesn't work in IE6...
I have no blog...

Well, that doesn't work on IE5 too! Seriously, one should use at least IE7 if not FF or Opera.

Fantastic, I'll just get IT to change around 3000 computers for you, how does that sound.
The point is, people often can't just change what software is installed on their PC.
I have no blog...

Please do not do anything for me. You may live with IE4 and Windows 98. But you can't do something as simple as a middle click though. My pity.

What? 3000? Oh my Gawd! That's a big number. I work for a Fortune 500, that employs over 100000 people. Almost 50% of us use a computer and we've got IE7 on Windows Vista or Windows XP, at the very least. There's a team for that, and they'll take care of it. It all depends on how you can manage stuff, I think.

I believe, some of the MSDN content follow this policy. The hyperlinks to non-MS networks also carry a small globe symbol indicating that the navigation would take the user away from the MS network.

If you are talking about integration of ads/new windows in CodeProject. Are you talking about something similar to how Krugle is set up: Krugle Results for: test[^]. Krugle arranges searches in tab pages that are managed by the site, it would be a drastic move/complex move for the codeproject, but their are some advantages/disadvantages.

No, nothing like that. Basically, just having the target="_blank" in the link attributes for links to external sites.

In the homepage of CodeProject, there are two junk articles 'Waiting for Approval'. They just indicate like

I have reported them but in the long run, can something be done to strengthen the Article Submission Wizard to prevent this sabotage from striking too very often.

The article submission wizar needs a CAPTCHA to thwart spambots from dropping sh*t all over.

a) This isn't an "acute" problem. This is the moderation trap working perfectly. The articles have been deleted.
b) Please remember the kid sister rule for general site areas.

I actually meant 'significant' or 'intense' issue. Does it convey a different meaning?

I think he meant "dropping s**t all over".

Thank you for clarifying. If that is the 'string' which has hurt, I would sincerely and deeply apologize for the same.
As a matter of fact, it is really irritating to see the folks from Kerala, India constantly trying to plagarize content and involve in 'Credit Theft' in more than one ways than one. That is the reason of the swift outburst of feelings. Sorry again, if I had hurt someone.

ReCaptcha[^] might be useful too, if this is an automated spammer.
