There are two possibly unpopular changes that I'd like to make to the Edge.
At the moment all links found within post content open in a new window. My original reasoning being that if you were composing a post using the inline reply box then clicked a link you would lose your post. This is the wrong thing to do because people who genuinely do want to open a link in the same tab have no option to do so, & all links outside of post content open in the same tab anyway.
Secondly, in 2017 I'd like to have to stop explaining what 'Small talk' is. Since Big talk was axed it makes no sense to make any distinction so I'd like to simply replace all references to 'small talk' with 'forum'.
Anyone (or rather: 'how many people have'!) got any objections?
As a person who rarely post but lurks intensively, here's what i think:
1) Links : Any chance that you could do this change but add a "open in new tab" button (this small icon : https://jugglingedge.com/userfiles/Orinoco/SmallTalkFiles/newwindow.png
) near the links? That would help people visualize more what they are doing when clicking on the link or the icon.
2) No objections
Of course if you could edit this horrendous image, that would be great :D. Sorry about that
1. I'm generally in the habit of right-click>newtabbing , or tap-hold>newtabbing anyway, so no bg deal for me. I expect I'd get caught out a few times, but I'd get over it.
2. No objections, but have you considered "Talk"? Maybe "forum" is a word you'd like to show up in searches...
After reading your thread title, I was pretty worried, but these don't seem like that big a deal to me.
....actually I'm now more concerned that I don't know whether I think it should be "that big a deal" or "that big of a deal"...
Trifles. Thanks for asking! 1. I'm pretty good at clicking - I'll manage. 2. "Names are (but) sound and smoke." [ german saying :o) ="What's in a name?"]

Omg! Nooo!
Not really, go for whatever - I don't think either of those are a massive issue from my POV
Slightly surprised you didn't set it as a poll though :)
Forum is not my favorite name after my phorum experience. Also I'm not a fan of the Roman Empire. I guess Home is taken, perhaps The Edge or just Edge would work. Or Talk. Actually I' l learn to ignore it anyway. I can adjust to different links as well.
Synecdoche, that makes 29803.
