Q: Don't you just hate the way links on Chinese websites always open new windows?

Sorry - pet hate of mine.

 

Whenever I surf Chinese websites and click on links to stories or other sections of the sites, it always opens up a new window on my browser, which is a pain for me as I like to keep everything on my computer nice and tidy.

 

Does anyone else feel the same?

yes I know . it's annoying especially when you use Internet Explorer.. My guess is the Chinese websites want to keep you on it as long as possible .
Now I mostly use Firefox and chrome . when click a link ,I'll right click it and choose “open in a new tab”
I hope this will work for you .

OwainLW:

Thanks, yeah I use chrome too. Maybe I should get into that habit!

Yes that does drive me crazy. I get 20 tabs going sometimes. I will try the chrome-trick mentioned here (or see if I can work it in Opera).

You can go into firefox settings and make links open in new tabs rather than windows. Not sure how to do this in chrome/opera, but you probably can.
In Firefox go into tools then options then click tabs. There is a box you can check to open windows in a new tab.

I absolutely loathe it. Some sites are just so bad, especially some of those video streaming ones. It really puts me off those sites.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
