Really? Cool. Firefox?

I’d definitely hit url’s like that

[raccoonradio]

You can also do this (at least in Firefox)

Right click on the link. Options include “Open link in new tab” and “Open link in new window”.

You know, I’ve been “meaning to donate” for years. I was able to get on the monthly donor list in about 15 seconds.

Is there a way to cause an “open in new tab” from the HREF?

I don't actually know but the example links in the thread article open up for me as tabs and not new windows. Which is the behavior I prefer.

This works in Firefox and perhaps IE. In Firefox just go to the tools/options/tabs menu and you will see an option right at the top to open links that would normally open a new window in a new tab instead.

Try it.

Read on, McDuff, Laz answered it later.

Thank you, nixonsnose!

Nice trick.

When you've heard Lou...you've heard it all!

Now you just need to think of a way to identify a "sticky" link. Otherwise people will still keep doing things like they do in InterceptPoint's example as it will still look like any other hyperlink.

If FR were any "stickier" I'd be unemployed!

I didn't mean to throw a wrench in the works. It's a great idea and I've already used it, as you can see.

Serious question - I have no idea, which is why I’m asking...

If FR (the site) is not monetized, generating ad-revenue, whatever — what does accumulating more hits do for FR?

[Chickensoup]

If it were any stickier, the wait time between screens would be in tens of minutes.

The currency of politics: Credibility and ability to speak to an audience.

[Lazamataz]

You’re cool bro. Don’t sweat any little thing!

[philman_36]

I was thinking that an @ (since it sort of looks like a sticky bun) before the link might work.
