It is very anoying to use the forum inside the frame, and not everybody have to know that they can access the forum via http://reactos.com/forum/
So my petition, make the forum open in a new page,
a very simple javascript:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function abrir(tutor){
window.open( forum, "","fullscreen=no, scrollbars=yes")}
//-->
</script>
And the following html expresion:
<a href="javascript:abrir('http://reactos.com/forum/')">Forums</a>
Can manage it.
Open the forum in a fullpage not in a frame!

make it a normal link. no new window, no javascript, no frame.
some people like to open things in a new window (or tab).
others want to open it in the current window/tab, replacing the site.
those who have no clue (or don't care) can still use the Back Button, or a link at the top*, to return to the main site.
*you have one, right? oh.. tsk tsk
with a normal link, everyone can do it the way they like, in a trivial way, using browser's features.
various hacks (frames, target, javascript) to make it work in any particular way are Very Annoying. drop them.

AFAIK, Firefox will not stop popups that are triggered by clicking somewhere... not sure though.uniQ wrote:A problem with your script, Firefox and others like it will block that as a popup probably.
But also, javascript isn't really necessary I think...
I think target="_blank" in the link is enough to open in a new page.
The frame thing is terrible, luckily an option "open frame in new window" exists in FireFox and Safari . I think the whole site could use a little update, the news items are also out of order.
You can make a php based system based on this phpBBoard without too much effort, allowing you to post news in a hidden forum witch is linked to the frontpage or so, like this one.

Maybe something for the future, ReactOS gets more attention each new version, and an easy readable and maintainable site is a must then. Now I just check these forums, that's enough for me.
