| Ever since I have been using Bricklink a couple of things have driven me nuts,
perhaps it's time to address them, or maybe it's just me and I should
go back to my corner and be quiet.
First off, external links in the forum, why is Bricklink seemingly the only place
that does not open links in a new tab without being specifically asked to? (ie
right click and open in new tab) It's a chore and potentially leads to people
surfing away from BL and none of us want that.
Secondly I use the catalogue a great deal, often searching for parts to check
price guides or whatever, I access from different points, the 'Buy'
tab, or the 'Catolog' tab for example, but why when moving through the
catalogue and onto a fresh page where you are most likely to scroll immediately
down with cursor keys, does the cursor automatically appear in the 'Find'
box? If I wanted to search by key words, or similar, I'd have started me
search like that in the first place, I wish to browse and scroll up or down at
will. Am I the only one frustrated by this?
Lastly, why is the title box so small when starting a new topic? I had to make
three attempts before ending up with the lame title I have now for this thread
because all of my earlier attempts were too long.
That is all, feel free to flame at will.

The cursor in the find box bothers me, too. I like to use the space bar to scroll
down.
