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?
