Close notify popup when clicked [DENIED]

If there's only one link there and I click it, close the pop-up at the same time since there are no more notifies left.

Hmmm, exp, I have yet another small idea / suggestion regarding this, but I really start to fear that I'm terribly getting on your nerves...

Well, at least it's not a big DB mod this time...

I was hoping that the links in the notification popup don't all open in a new window. Right now, when I'm adding a newly released file to my mylist, I get the popup, then a new window with the anime, then a window for the mylist. That's four AniDB windows in under 10 seconds.

If the popup's links were to open in it's parent, the window that created the popup, users can simply move the popup away and finish what they were currently doing, then use the popup to jump to the notifications while staying in the same window all the time.

I'm not sure about that... I like it to open a new window.

This way, if I have more than 1 notify, I can open them all in new windows, close the pop-up and then check what was added.

yeah, that's the main idea.
and i won't change that @ target="_blank" @ notify popup as that would mean i have to use javascript to maximize the notifypopup window.
and i am clearly against that.

about the other links which open in a new window @ anidb, well we could think about those a bit, maybe there are some where it would be better to reuse the existing window.

Nah, just replace target="_blank" with target="_parent". The parent of a window that was opened via javascript is the window or frame that contained the open() call.

Let's count.

One main window + popup + two notifies - popup = three windows and a lot of trouble to find and close the popup. If it's links opened in the window where the popup came from, you can let it stay open and visit each of the popup's links in order until you've seen all notifies.

@Elbert
Do you use MS IE?

Opera has work on many windows without problems. Netscape/Mozilla works quit good too. Only about half real AniDB members use MS IE. So i don't see need to changing this system.

Or use a browser that tab your windows instead of opening new ones.
Mozilla has it and I'd guess Opera has it, if you want it for Internet Explorer I can recommend Crazy Browser:

I use Mozilla most of the time now. But no matter if it's tabs, windows, IE or Mozilla, I still don't like the idea of having five different windows floating around my Desktop (or within Mozilla, for that matter)...

Btw, I have to say I like it as is so don't change it please!

An easy way to solve that is to close the main window before clicking on the popup link!
