I can't seem to find the right forum for this :/

But anyways, here's my suggestion - is it ok to put an extra icon next to forum headings (in the forums main page http://modmyi.com/forums/) and next to each thread headings (in the individual forums) that once you click on it it opens the forum/thread as a new page?

As I (and I'm sure a lot of other people) browse MMI using the iPhone, it'll be great to open the forums/threads as a new page so that we don't have to keep pressing "back" (which then loads the previous page all over again) after viewing a certain forum/thread. Anyone else thinks this is a good idea?

I use CoolIris extension in Firefox.

It's great for reading forums.

There should be a setting in Preferences> for the option to open new pages in a different tab or new window. check it out. I use Safari and it requires you to press command when clicking.

Hmm. Might be able to do something like that, I'll look into it.

Having the option to open new links in the background would be a KILLER iPhone feature. It would be awesome for individual sites like MMi to code in workaround links - but I'd love to see that feature added by Apple so it wouldn't be necessary.

Thanks PF

Here's an example of a forum that uses that function

If you click on the paper-looking icons on the left hand side of the thread headings, it opens the thread in a new page. Very handy.

Thanks again!
