As the Title says, because of the way GS re-did the site's

Reviews

(other articles are also affected)

are no longer right-clck'able and therefore one cannot for example go to your Newly Posted Reviews and open the individual Reviews one is interested in a new browsing tab.

This problem is due to the addition of all this eyecandy and of course, Flash.

Flash does not give you the normal hyperlinking right-click open in a new tab option.

A way to fix this would be to add/replace an HTML (non flash) hyperlink above the review that includes the game title just the way it is now.

Personally, I do (sorry, did; I no longer do) this on both GameSpot and IGN: I find the review I am interested in (sometimes 10 reviews at a time), open them in new tabs and put each game's review from the respective site next to one another. Either right away, or throughout the day I watch/read one review after another. I do not want to have to constantly hit the Back button on the Browser, risk loosing my place, or you posting new reviews that push the ones I am still interested in off the main page.

I have many many other complaints about how the site was redone and have encountered even more bugs, crashes and slowness. I understand that putting up a new site or redesigning is not easy, but please, before you add anymore features or eyecandy, please take a look at what needs fixed.

Tested on IE9, IE10, FF 23-24 and newest Chrome.

Who else feels this way regarding the inability to open stuff in new browser tabs via right-click?

It is absolutely aweful what was done to the site! Here is a list of some of those aweful things:

- You get prompted by the site every minute or so to download a .js file from site (in IE 10); in FireFox you repeatedly get a warning about a Java Script taking too long

- The Site, videos and pictures load much slower - video playback has even become choppy. I now watch the YouTube versions of video reviews just to avoid your stupid video player.

I am on a maxed out Alienware M18x R2 and have a Fiber connection, so no it is not my environment causing this

- It is too cluttered with pictures and graphics; you have to scroll down several pages to get past all the "eye candy"

- I spent 10 minutes clicking the "load more comments" button until it took me to the first comments made on an article. Add a "Go to Page X" buttons or revert back to the old style

- One can no longer browse reviews easily. Most people look at the list of new reviews and right-click them and choose to open them in new browser tabs.

But Guess what? This no longer works because everything is flash. Flash does not let you right- click and open in a new tab.

Fix or revert back to the old site or I will head onto IGN and keep it locked on IGN

Why the hell would you spend ten minutes of your life doing this?

IDK? I thought it would eventually end.

I was trying to find my comment that I posted in the Bioshock Infinite re-review (Score 4). So many people commented on the review so it took forever. I was one of the first to comment so I had a lot of replies that I wanted to read.
