DJNeill Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi,I have tested only in Chrome but on multiple machines. It seems like now a link in myhands opens by default in a new tab. It used to pop out in its own viewer window I think. The advantage to that is you can easily keep your place in the original search because clicked links have a different color. Now, it replaces the search and when you click back to see the next hand, you have to spend time figuring out where you left off. You can middle-click a link with a mouse (or right-click...open in new window) to try to keep the original window but it might not consider the link clicked in those cases. In case there was a change here and it was not meant to change this, I am voting for the previous behavior. Thanks,Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 There hasn't been any change to this. Make sure you have JavaScript enabled, it uses that to open the popup viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJNeill Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks for the fast response. I checked Edge and Firefox, same behavior (though I had never tried those before with this, not sure if that is new). Javascript is enabled on all browsers (https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-javascript-enabled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 There hasn't been any change to this. Make sure you have JavaScript enabled, it uses that to open the popup viewer. I too think something changed. I am more comfortable with a new tab but haven't really thought about advantages or disadvantages.What I do dislike is that clicking 'Traveller' cannibalizes the original tab instead of opening a new one like 'movie' does.

smerriman Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 For some reason the myhands page is trying to load the necessary scripts through http:// rather thsn https://, so they're being blocked as insecure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Found the problem. We recently reconfigured our webservers to redirect all HTTP connections to HTTPS. But myhands was trying to load the JavaScript files using HTTP, and browsers block this combination. This should be fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pescetom Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Found the problem. Could you also look into why 'Traveller' behaves differently to 'Movie' ?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Could you also look into why 'Traveller' behaves differently to 'Movie' ?Thanks.Traveller is just an ordinary link, it doesn't have extra code that makes a popup window. If you want to open in a new window, use Control-click (Cmd-click on Mac). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJNeill Posted January 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I can't reproduce the problem today.Ah ok, yeah, it's just my browser - doesn't happen in incognito tab or Firefox, I'll clear the cache etc, thanks!Looks like the Bridge Solver extension if enabled causes this to happen (I had just added it, didn't realize it could have such an effect).

pescetom Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Traveller is just an ordinary link, it doesn't have extra code that makes a popup window. If you want to open in a new window, use Control-click (Cmd-click on Mac). Ok, can live with Control-click.I see you also fixed the inconsistency between Movie and Traveller then Movie. Thanks.
