One more option which is quite common for social news sites is to open the actual story in a new window or tab (in firefox and ie7).

is this possible by editing the css? perhaps you can give that as an option, both from the homepage of the site, as well as from the View Story page

Matt - No, it's not possibly by editing the CSS. We have this in our to-do list so that each user can decide whether to open the story in a new window or not.

Can you give any indication on when this would be possible?

Also, that recent stories submitted list on your homepage seems to be updated very rarely. Could you increase the frequency a bit? Would be useful for a few of us to market our sites faster.. :)

Matt - In a week or so.

As for the recent stories, we're working on a filtering mechanism so that spammy stories don't show up there. There are not many, but we just don't want to post there even one story about where to get the best loan, that amazing pharma company in Canada or the latest Rolex deal. Until then, the update is done manually every once in a while, as you have noticed.

We might just change that list to "latest promoted stories" among all sites instead.
