Here's a work around to substitute the right clicking of a link to open in a
new window. Just go Ctrl N to open a new window and then click the link in
that - leaves you with the old window in the background.

I REALLY dislike the absence of the right-click menu.  I think this site is
a great looking site, and its going to be a lot easier to find what I want
to find around it, and it's a lovely showcase for flash.

BUT ..

Right click - gone.  Navigate to somewhere, knowing that you are going to
want to come back to here... normally I'd right click and open the link in a
new window.  Nope. Not under this interface.   So . click the link, go to
this place, then come back to go somewhere else ..   have to wait while the
flash loads all over again.  I'm really glad I have broadband.

For example.  The very first thing I tried.  There's a link on the 'site of
the day' to a description of some of the features of this new site.   I
wanted to have that in one window, so I could look around the features they'
re describing as I read.  The only way to do that is to go back and forward,
waiting while the flash reloads completely each time, then rebuilds the
navigation.

When I look around the exchange, if I see a new tag, I don't want to look at
the demo in the same window, because I lose my place in the listing.  I want
to open the demo in a new window.  This doesn't give me the opportunity.
And because it's a flash link the url isn't shown in the status bar, so I
can't even type it in a new window.

I HATE THAT!!!

But there are a lot of really good new features about this site.    Still
some work to do on the navigation though.

Just in case you hadn't already noticed...

The macromedia website switched to their dylan65 code about 2pm today.

Not sure how long it will stay up this time, but if you didn't have a
look at it before now's your chance.
