Where are "the graphs"

[3DJF]

HI all,

i have been bouncing around on the main OC3D site and the forums and i can't see a place where the past/current full graphs are with the performance comparisons are.

Am i going blind or something? Have i missed an obvious place?

Getting more than a little frustrated with 20-30 new tabs popping after all the times i click a link on either the forum or website proper.

Every review mate.......

You just need to click through the pages.

All the graphs are in the reviews dude, updated every time TTL does a new hardware write up. Really don't know what you're referring to with the pop-ups though seeing as OC3D does not have them.

Derp, sorry Tom for some reason i had the idea "the graphs" were on a sheet/page with all the cards in one central place. I have seen the graphs on the card by card basis.
Would you be able to post up a copy of the enormous sheet you use for the graphs?

re: Wraith, not talkin about pop ups rather the way the page reacts when i click a link or link. Rather than that tab taking me to the page the oc3d site tends to open new tabs. For instance i go to the oc3d main site, see a link to a review comment section and click it, a new tab for the forum opens, in the forum i click a main site link so another tab opens so now i have 3 tabs and no way to just "go back". It's by no means a big complaint but when i trying to find a particular article i can end up with a screen full of tabs from going between the main site and the community section.

That's because you're changing subdomain from www. to forum. any/all links from either site that are external are designed to go into their own window/tab so that if we add external links they won't squirrel you away from the site, and then if you close the tab with the external source is, you can come straight back to where you left off, instead of having to click 'back' lots. It's fairly standard practice.

The side-effect of this is, is that when you're on the main site, and click a forum link, it'l open a new tab. So you can discuss on the forums without losing where you were on the main site. This is particularly useful when using the forums first, and then clicking a news story. Because of the way the forum works, sometimes if you click back you get all kinds of 'resubmit previous data' errors and stuff and it's far more jarring for a user to experience that, than to just have another tab that they can close whenever they like.

If you have many tabs it's likely because you're swapping around between forum and main site a lot. While turning this 'off' by default seems like an easy fix, it creates an AWFUL lot more work for Tom and our other content writers, and would mean potentially installing yet another forum plugin because we cannot specify the target="_blank" parameter on forum links, that isn't going to happen. So it's added in quietly during post-processing of the link, if the link isn't on the same subdomain then we add a default target="_blank" to it because otherwise the above explanation happens.

I hope that clears it up.
