Random Daily Funnies aka Wassa's Widget

I'm not sure if it's always been like this, but I noticed a while back that when I look at the headings under 'random previous' funnies, there are often several posts (from different topics) that I want to read. But if I click on one to read it, and then click my back button, the widget now has a different 'previous day's' funny posts. I can no longer see or click on the first listing of funnies I saw. I wonder if that could be set to keep the same funnies for a certain period of time - X# of hours or a day - before it changes to a different day. Alternatively, could there be an option for the viewer to select how often it refreshes?

I'm not sure about what system you're on or how it's set up, but I just open the links in a new window. Is that not an option for you?

Can't say I'm familiar enough with that to know how to open the links in a new window, but it seems like there ought to be a way.

In any case, I've updated the widget so you can edit its preferences to open links in a new window so you don't even have to do that yourself. =) Just edit the widget preferences and you can make the links open in new windows automatically.

When you touch the link, hold down your finger on the link for a moment, it should pop up with a option of opening link in new tab, or open link, or add to reading list, or copy

Happy to help!

This has been true for all the touch screens I have had: phones, kindles, etc. - so it might help someone else too. :)
