At first I liked the new portal page, until I found that it somewhat sabotages the concept of tabbed browsing; all links only work if opened directly as into the same window/frame/tab, probably a JavaScript thing - whenever you try to open a link into another browser tab, you just get the portal again there. All links also show "http://projectcamelotportal.com/#" as their target in the status bar.

I know some sites have been doing this for years, but as the new portal page is, well new, maybe this is the proper time to say that I very much dislike this behaviour. I understand that there are many people who do not care about using tabs, but there are also many who do.
