Some of us browse on here who can't right-click, so opening a new window is very useful. The reason being I don't have a mouse on this thing, and I can't be arsed to dig the laptop out. Otherwise I'm loving the site as it is, and I'm full of respect for all of you who've got it back up and running so quickly. Well done.

in terms of the old data, rather than just having it merged into this one, why not simply have it as a read-only seperate database altogether. That way you can still get to the old information, but you're not worrying about merging it all in seamlessly.

Apply a fierce limit on how many can query it at anytime, and a short autologout. If there is too many users, then just tell em to come back later.

Well, I can't be arsed with loads of windows and tabs open, so who wins? 😉

We don't seem to be able to delete our own tages from threads anymore. Is that deliberate or an accident?

Blimmin Mac users! 🙄

Seriously, what are you browsing with CountZero?
I visit here on my iPhone and I still wouldn't want links opening in new windows.

fisha - I think the biggest reason for the db merger was for SEO purposes - holdign it as a separate db etc is likely to mean the rankings are affected for the site as a whole - it's already drifted down a bit on some google searches.

no one who actually posts on here looks back more than 2 pages from the front for information anyway, they just post a new topic...
