Would you like to see hyperlinks automatically open in a new tab/window? (read for more information)?

For many sites, links referencing something external open in a new window, internal links replace the current view. I realize this does not jive with the zeitgeist, but is pretty common practice, especially for link hubs. I suspect a vast majority of your users—and perhaps the least vocal—will prefer the window spawn behavior as well.As much as it may rankle the more vocal folks.

Web standards say that it should be the user who decides what links open in a new window. Therefore, forcing a link to open in a new window is bad form and should be avoided. If I want a link to open in a new window, I can manage that just fine myself, thank you.

Many users feel the same way--they want to be in control of their own browsing experience, and forcing links to open a certain way takes that away from them.

I think there should always be a new tab. I think the nature of Maholo makes this the best fit. The whole point is that you get to look at several answers and compare them.

Having a new tab open when you follow a link allows you to: 1) Easily stay on the Answers page you are looking at, since you usually will want to return to it. 2) Refer back to the material on the linked page when reading the answers page and vice verca. 3) Most importantly, to compare different links. The whole point is to be able to easily and conveniently compare many people's answers.

If each link has its own tab, that makes it much easier. Especially since, if comparing answers, you might need to look back and forth several times to really see the differences. If each linked page has it's own tab, it would be really conducive to this process.

I would always like to see EVERY link open in a new tab. I don't see why browser developers can't program a feature like that in already.

Never. A new *tab*? Only when I say so.

When a web site chooses to open up a new window/tab, it is because they want to keep you "sticky" (i.e. You close the window, you're still at Mahalo in the original window). When I open up a new tab, it is because there may have been multiple things I want to explore on that page and I don't want it taken away from me at the first click.

I'd rather have the choice. Ctrl-click on Mozilla Firefox|Firefox opens a new tab while keeping the existing tab focused. This makes it easy to pick a couple links you want to follow but don't necessarily want to detour to immediately.

Most of the time I prefer a new tab or window.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
