0 carbon Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Currently the Options - Handviewer buttons for a finished hand give you a box with a TinyURL link which has to be copied and pasted into a new tab or window. Why not just open the Handviewer page? You make other links live, so it does work. tOM :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE's internal popup blocker would get in the way and that would cause problems - if you give the popup blocker permission to show the popup, the entire page reloads which kills the BBO session.

fred Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I am using Firefox. But why do urls work in chat as active links? Why not here too?Even Firefox does not allow Flash to spawn a new browser (in either a new tab or a new window) without the user clicking. So making the Handviewer link clickable would do what you want as long as you continue to use Firefox and as long as Firefox doesn't tighten up its security model in this area. But for the vast majority of our members (who use Internet Explorer) there is no good answer. Any attempt to implement what you suggest would lead to problems for these people.
