can not open search results simultanously

A crude way that I have used in the past would be to right click on the link and select Open in New Window. But that would also open your original search results 5 times in addition to the 5 issues. I would think this is a good enhancement request.

I think that was issue for new window only... this is slightly different and frustrating too IMHO.

If you click on each of the hist returned with IE you get first one opened in new windows. Each next gets opened in that second window.

With FF I use force-new-tab-each-new-window setting and usually when I see a list of responses I click on them to be opened in new window as as new tab. That in returns opens 2 windows - one with search result and one with wanted result. Clicking on each opens a windows in new tab, but it is much slower process (actually the slowest out there to be honest). The setup and they way PL was designed is far away from easy-to-use-and-navigate approach and I really hope fixes and changes in April will change that.

Btw, this thread should be moved to PL forum.

I think they already know that as it has been mentioned quite a few times. Also, if I remember correctly, someone actually posted a workaround for firefox.

The search results linking is my biggest problem with PowerLink right now. I use FireFox also and create a new tab for each thread I want to check, which kind of works but the new thread doesn't always open in the window I think it should.

Is there some technical reason why PowerLink can't offer a simple link to the specific thread (as we are all familiar with below)?

Remember when PowerLink first came out...we had the same issue with the main forums link creating a new window that was full-screen. Both IE and FireFox support the user choice to "create a new window" or "create a new tab", I truly believe this functionality should be left to the discretion of the user and not forced by the interface.

Proposed Quick Fixes

1) Would it be possible to offer another link or icon that used a simple link to the thread?

2) If quick fix #1 takes too much time could you simply offer the thread Id as part of the results? If I had the thread Id I would manually type the URL into my location bar rather than go through the interface given now (does that communicate how annoying the current interface is?)

I agree - keep it simple and use basic links. The way how this should be handled after actual click should be defined by user and his/her preferences through browser defined action.

IS any forum moderator going to comment on this.

For countries where bandwidth availabe, this feature is must as you dont know that search result will help or not So you will open multiple search results in background to allow some time them to open

I've just moved this thread over to the Powerlink Forum which is where the people looking after the search hang out more often. And I'll contact them as well.
