Link to NEW Forum from Team site

Post by UBT - Timbo »

For the Yahoo Forum, I made the link from the Team site to the "old" forum such that it opened in a new browser.

Any views on whether this should happen like this with this NEW forum.

Personally, I think it might be "nice" if it opens in the right frame like the stats already do, but am mindful that others might prefer the existing way, as with two windows open, one can "switch" from one to the other if needs be...!

regards,

Tim

Please keep it as coming up in a new page rather than it coming up on the right frame.

Any new users coming over for a look may find it slightly annoying, I know I would but it doesn't matter to me as this forum is my homepage.

I'm with Darren, a new window is better.

My reasoning differs however :)
I abhor frames and if I come across a link in a frame I'll right click to open a new window rather than open the frame.

How about changing the link on the website so it still calls a frameset but with only one frame. That might leave the url looking like it came from the ukboincteam website.
I don't know too much about framesets - evil things.

I'll have a play.
