Poll: Newsbox to open new browser window? Support Apolyton

In the original thread, Atahualpha made the following suggestion...

It would be better if there would be a new window opened everytime I select a news. Because then I remain at the forums AND am able to check the news and all very convient and fast.

No!
If it is made to open in a new window everybody well get it, not just them who say yes.
As it is now those who want it in a new window can just decide for them self and middleclick/rightclick to open their very own window.

Popping windows are evil!

Thue: Sure opening a new window, waiting due to processor calculation time, clicking on a news item. Very very convient [/sarcastic]
I will never ever use the forum news box when it doesnt open in a new window. Besides, the window doesnt pop up uncontrolled. When you click it pops up, whats the problem with that?

When I surf around the net, I have always at least about 2 or 3 windows opened. Then I read trough one page and click somewhere on a link, switch to the next page, while the other loads in the background, so that when I come back, everything has loaded fine and I didnt have to wait.

When I browse through the forums, I look at all the different topics and shift-click (opens link in a new window) on those that interest me. When I opened the last thread, the first has already loaded...

You just right-click and choose "open link in new window". not open a new window and then click as you say. The little exstra work contra not allways having a new windoes, that you sometimes don't want, popped up.

seems like an option is the best way to go.
there will be two small images next to the box: one will open the selected news item on the same page and the other ona new one. just have to figure out how to do it...

I was going to say make it an option but it seems it's already going to be implemented. Oh well.
