N-s.org Links Dont Work!?!

((I am putting this here because there is not forum for n-s.org related issues))

I use Crazy Browser or Slim Browser...Both us the Internet Explorer core and give other options like pop up blocking and tabbed surfing.

I went to look at the 2.01 changelog in either of those browsers and because it opens in a pop up, I could not view it, or any link on the main news page as of the last few months. I also opened the same link in IE and noticed it didnt have any "sliders", so I could not view the bottom of the changelog anyway. I think it would probably be better to have those links open in a new window scince pretty much everyone blocks pop ups, and most people I know use a tabbed browser of some kind, so the pop up method seems almost counter productive.

PS, i dont want to start a "best browser" debate, I just want to bring this to the attention of the admins.

    umm, most popup blockers (well the good ones) will let you white list sights you want popups from (put n-s.org there)
    also if you wana see the bottom, simply try resizing the window ;P

    but yah, tis odd that there are no scroll bars for that pop up

    Lol, thanks Thansal...

    Yeah so ignore the pop-up thing, but the window that pops up does need scroll bars.
    Ive got an older moniter and cant run higher res at a decent refresh rate so I only see a portion of the changelog.




    copy, paste, notepad I guess.

    If the problem is that the pop-up forums link dosen't have sliders, simply launch <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums</a> instead of ns.org and clicking forums <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    It does work, as I have <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums</a> set to my start page
