IE8 Tabbed browsing

[Capella]

dunno why this is a problem...cuz it certainly doens't occur on my ie 8
I have two tabs rite now. I clicked a link on my first tab...The new tab just appeared like in between the first and second one, not to the far right.....

ANd you do open them from the same domain?

IF you do it from two different domains it works but not from the same domain.
Have tried about 20 machines so far...

lmao...yours is doing something that alot of user have asked me to get their IE to do...

Unless someone else knows better than a reset of IE will porbably have to be done

Reset DOES NOT help.

The problem is still in that fact that smart grouping only will recognize pages from different domains. IF the pages are opened from the same domain like to subfourums here on sevenforum it will not group the tabs smartly

Still searching for a solution. MS own newsgroups gave nothing so it doesn't look good.

sorry cant help you =( i dont know why when i use the middle mouse key for any tab, it appears directly to the right and not the far right.....

I now can say for sure that you aren't opening them in the same order as we do.

MS has confirmed that it can't be done in the way we want it with the current code.

And yes, we are running a case against MS to get them to fix IE8.

it grouped them smartly for me... i tried this thing out, like you said, from the same domain, and it worked. like i had sevenforums on one tab and another sevenforums on the other tab. i right clicked the news section, clicked open in new tab, and it appeared right in the middle of the 2.

Yes because I think you did it in a different way, I belive you opened multiple tabs against the www.sevenforums.com URL. If you do that then you will get smartgrouping but thats not the problem.

The problem is that when you open one window against www.sevenforums.com and then use the middle button to create new tabs. then it will NOT do smartgrouping. For something as simple as the first page of this forum, it's not a problem but if it requires a number of clicks and possibly a logon procedure then it starts to become a problem, if you then multiply it with 10 000 users, It is a problem.

And as I think you demonstrated, by opening the first tab differently you get a different behaviour, this will also be a problem for the users and the helpdesk.

can you demostrate with a video o.o srry...but i still dont get it...
I have five tabs rite now. each tab is a different website. One tab has a hyperlink to another website. I clicked on it. It leads me directly to the right of that tab...then this second opened tab also had a hyperlink. I clicked on it with middle mouse. It opened to the direct right again.....
do not understand wat you are saying...

Well now you are on different sites. That's not what we are talking about either.

You shall only open ONE website and then open new tabs from that page.

To make an example.

Start a IE. Go to www.sevenforums.com.
Open NEWS, General diskussions and Drivers as new tabs.
That will give us four tabs in total (should look like example1.jpg)

Now go to the news tab and open a subject in a new tab.
That tab will be placed at the far right instead of between News and General Discussion. (can be seen in example2.jpg)
