Dislike Buttons to GC.com Cache Pages

Post by TheBlizzles »

I had mentioned this before, but not sure where the the post is actually buried. Also not sure if this is correct area for the comment/bug/request.

A minor thing (as most of the page is just awesome):
I do not like the buttons used to the GC.com cache pages. They do not allow you to right click and select to open them in a new tab. Clicking them opens in the same window/tab and then you can not keep browsing LC.com and have the caches you want to read about open in other tabs/windows.
I would prefer them to just be regular links that allow me to choose how to open the link.
GCing exclusively using Neongeo on a Droid Razr Maxx (June 2012 upgrade)
Previous 2 years used an Original Droid for caching

I remember this suggestion from a while back, and I will second that motion. My personal preference is to ctrl+click or shift-click (open in new window and open in new tab, respectively), rather than right clicking, but that's beside the point. A standard <a href="URL"> hyperlink instead of a push button would also make me happy.

Your request isn't forgotten, I just have a lot of other things higher on my list of things to do. I don't know what browser you use, but with IE, you can Ctrl-k to create a new tab for the same page, then click on the cache button.

I know I said I'd hold off from asking for more feature requests, so... don't consider this a request. From me, at least. ;)

The buttons have been changed to standard hyperlinks. See release notes for more details.
