Agreed, there’s a thread here for the dashboard. An item that’s on the long-term roadmap is “customisable per user”…
It’s a good point, it’s a bit of a debate on the web but the general consensus for links is let the user decide whether to open them in a new tab/window or not, don’t force it on them. Would your personal preference be for the links to open in the current tab? (For the record that would probably be my preference too.)
I think that’s true for quite a lot of people, one thing we’ve discussed quite a bit is have talk.restarters.net be the first place you land when you log in. The challenge there then is making sure Fixo related stuff doesn’t get missed.
