Business Link in new window? - GoFuckYourself.com

Does it piss off surfers? For me, no problem loading a browser window on a good machine isn't a problem. But I know some people lag when they open a new window. Thoughts? Does it cause pissed off people?

I wouldn't have thought it would be an issue. I don't know if anyone that says it annoys then although it is a little when the page gets blocked and you can't find it.

I'd rather, in many cases, a new window open...so the main site I am at is still there.
{Maybe NOT for each - individual - photo to be shown full size...}
But a link to something, yes.

Opening in new window is ok / good. I always tend to use it on my sites.

Thanks for the solid replies. Might just try it out myself.

Good for website retention?

I regularly "right click, open in new window."

incredibleworkethic · 07-16-2015, 09:32 PM

So we all agree, it's a common thing and won't piss people off?

External links open in new window, internal links do not.

If I were browsing a site and every internal link on that site opened a new window, I would have to be pretty dead-set on viewing that content in order to stay on that site after more than one or two page-views.

It's incredible how many times I have encountered that. Very annoying.

Middle mouse click does that for me, and closes tabs too.

(..I prefer tabs, new windows suck unless it's needed like a login box or popup for social media sharing and things like that which close and go back to the original site when done)

What he said

New window is OK for link to another site. Some idiots open a new window for pages within thair own site, Sometime you doN,t see it (depending on browser setup), then you end up with 20 pages open.. Grr...

I like links to open in new tabs. Thats the thing that I hate about xbiz forums. You see a link in a post to an article or something, open it, read the stuff, close the tab and youve closed down xbiz too... Pain in the ass. I like stuff to open in a new tab like it does ere on gfy

Isn't this basically the "web standard"? Any UX course/program/tutorial I've seen has specified this.

DVTimes · 07-18-2015, 04:53 AM

I prefer new window.

It bugs me when I get moved from a site I wish to stay on.
