New Window

This is just a suggestion, but can you do me a favor and put personal webpages or "non-related" sites such as irc.openprojects.net in a new window? It makes browsing a little easier...

Oh and another thing, can you put the locked posts on the bottom and everything else on the top?

No. At least for the opening links in a new window. Just right-click "Open in a new [window|tab]" in your favorite browser.
As for showing locked threads at the bottom of the page...you can't do that exactly, but you can set "only show threads in the last N days" to something like 7.

I kinda agree with Nyiah. Extra site links should be opened in a new Windows. I believe it's no big deal and it ease navigation on the site.

Elaborating on what u_l said, having the links open in a new window by default makes things harder for people in the usual browsers to open them in the same window if they so desire, while most browsers have "open in new window" options. If you have a 3 button mouse, Netscape/Mozilla browsers will even open something in a new window if you click the link with the middle button.
As for the locked threads bit, I think an option to just reverse the order of listing threads would be better. Perhaps it will appear some day soon. =)

I guess I'm just used to seeing linked sites opening in a new window and I have a habit of thinking that the opened site is in a different window and I tend to close the window before I realise that I closed everything.... did that make sense??

Yes, but that's not our fault. =)

I would have thought at least, most if not all people that visit a programming website would at least be proficient with their browesr of chioce. Maybe you could have the links, but above them put something like "These links will open in a new window".

hmm, I dunno... that kinda sounds tacky, I don't see too many sites that have that

In IE (I'm not sure if it's the same in Netscape) you can make the link open in a new window pretty easily by holding down the shift key as you left click on the link. Way easier that always having to right click. =P

oh hey, that's spiffy, I didn't know that...

I think in mozilla you can specify what the modifier key it, like alt or ctrl instead of shift. Im really starting to like mozilla :)

The gesture support in mozilla is supposed to be nifty too. And you can middle click on a link to open it in a new window or tab (or really any other button, but it defaults to middle) on X at least.

I tried gestures, and it just doesn't work for me. Most of the time I'll do the wrong one and get pissed.

Thats the stupidest thing ever. Ever play Black and White? That game uses mouse gestures and it is the reason I stopped playing it, I can never get it to work right

I just said they were supposed to be nifty, I never used them before.
