This subject was touched on in another thread, but I'm afraid it may have gotten lost.
The new iPhone template for MacNN's main site is nice, but tapping on links there results in new windows being opened. I generally don't like this approach, but on an iPhone it is totally unacceptable. I only get 8 windows. I don't want any wasted on trying to simply follow a link to a news article. Also each window is a resource drag.
Please change this behavior to make this site usable on an iPhone!

It's much better behavior on the iPhone *not* to have to wait for the main page to load for the fifteenth time because links to the individual stories don't open in a new window. Network connections are often slow enough.

Make it optional, maybe, but leave the default sensible as is.

The way you made it user-selectable at the bottom of the page is excellent.
I noticed one small bug, however. Having it set to open links in the same page works fine when tapping on the article title. But if I tap on the 'More' link at the bottom of the preview text, I get a new window.

Thanks again!
