You can right click and open in new tab, or hold control when you click and it will open in a new tab. (This is a cheesy workaround)
That's the way it's always been.
Up until the new format, you could put in the required parameters, join a game, back click to your list of games that fit your parameter and join another, repeat and join another...........etc.
That was never the case for me. Always, since I've been here, if you join a game from Game Finder, it redirects you to your list of Active Games (if you're the last to join) or your list of Waiting Games (if you're not the last to join.) If that's not the way it worked for you, then you had some kind of browser setting that prevents automatic redirects, but that was always the way it worked for most people.
If I join more than one game at a time, it's by right-clicking the link and selecting "Open in a new tab". That has ALWAYS been the way for me, since the very first day I arrived on Conquer Club.
The redirects have always been there. I accept that maybe that's not the way it was for you, but if so you had some browser setting that disabled the redirects.

Incorrect. Go to the Suggestions forum, you will see tons of people asking for upgrades to the Game Finder, to be able to refine their search for things like Polymorphic Triples only instead of all Polymorphic games, to be able to search for games with a specific team-mate, to be able to put more than 100 results on their page. All of the things in this package are taken directly from Suggestions threads.
The reason that this particular package was implemented over some others was that it won the voting during Round 3 of the
Guaranteed Suggestion Implementation program. This is a program where the owner has committed himself to implementing whichever Suggestion wins the vote. Every community member is free to vote, although most do not and so relatively small numbers of votes carry the day. Still, of the people that bothered to vote in Round 3, a majority voted for the Game Finder upgrade.
The original package, as voted on, with links to the individual Suggestions threads:
