| Hello,
Is it a new feature or me that clicking listings the VIEW-button doesn't
open a new Tab. (in Chrome).
Clicking on the item under Description and in VIEW opens the item in the same
Tab.
Clicking on the Store name opens the item in a new Tab, while expecting the Stores
Splash/Terms start-page.
Seems obvious that VIEW should open items in new tabs like the old button used
to do.

I've never had a new tab open when just clicking any link on BL, whether
using Explorer or Safari. I suspect this is something that may be specific to
Chrome, or maybe even a setting within your copy. I know Explorer and Safari
both have a setting that opens any clicked link in a new window/tab, but I've
never turned that option on. I know that if I really want it in a new tab, I
can force it to open a new tab. The only sites that do it automatically for
me are Hotmail (all links in e-mail, including BL want list notifications, always
open in a new tab) and Brickforge (clicking "Shop" from their home page always
forces a new tab, which is why I finally revised my bookmark to skip the homepage
and go straight to the store).

The problem is that with the new site, these links specifically won't allow
the user to open them in a new tab.
When I'm browsing items for sale, I'll open several stores in new tabs
so they all load at once and I don't lose my place on the items for sale
page. Then I look through each of those stores to see which store I want to buy
the part from.
This is another example of the HTML5 "progress" I mentioned in another thread.
Websites are constantly giving users less control over their own computers.

rightclick the storename instead of the ''view''

Awesome. Thanks! Now we just need that for "Small Images," "Price Guide," etc.
In the meantime, duplicating the tab (in Chrome at least) is a decent workaround.

Also, I think they should do away with the multiple items on the same page thing.
Now we can't link to things like the price guide (except for the link to
the old version). These things should all be separate pages.

It looks like I'm wrong about this one. The URL does change when you click
on something. So the only problem is that they're using buttons instead of
links. You can't copy the target URL or open in a new tab.
