Has anyone figured out if we can get links to open in a new window?
Having to leave The Bored to view a linked web page is my current pet peeve.
Hold down the Control key while clicking the link.
I remember to do it about 25% of the time, but I'm getting better.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I'm not sure this is the right thread for questions, requests, or suggestions, but I think Dave reads this, so I'll mention something I just noticed.
When you check the membership list, it appears that the only way you can view it is in the chronological order in which people joined. This is pretty limited. I've seen other boards (e.g. Ken Jennings php board) where the membership list can be sorted according to several different parameters, such as alphabetical by name, by number of posts, etc. This would be nice to have, if possible.

Re: More Feedback
I just noticed the sorting drop box was not there... but it appears you can still order the list by clicking on the appropriate header. For example, to get an alphabetical list of members (Like I use to compile the rankings), click on "Username" at the top of the list.....TheConfessor wrote:I'm not sure this is the right thread for questions, requests, or suggestions, but I think Dave reads this, so I'll mention something I just noticed.

Ah, yes, that does work! And by clicking on the header a second time, you can reverse the sort order.littlebeast13 wrote:I just noticed the sorting drop box was not there... but it appears you can still order the list by clicking on the appropriate header.

Is there any need to maintain this thread as an Announcement? If not, I'll probably de-Announce it in the next day or two (unless someone beats me to it). --Bob

Re: New styles for the Bored
I'm probably going to pull this one down from the top myself shortly, but I'll be replacing it with another thread that deals with all the recent changes, so I can find everyone's comments regarding said changes, rather than having to hunt through all the other threads.Bob78164 wrote:Is there any need to maintain this thread as an Announcement?
