use shortcut to open your bookmarks, hit first letter of your shortcut or folder you put it in... etc. It's not much effort.
ALT-A, f, f, right arrow, up arrow, <enter> and I'm on English Forums. Takes me less time/effort than it does to load a page and scroll to a link on this old P4 laptop that was made almost 3 years ago (in other words, it's pretty slow at times).
If it's on your desktop, you can actually make a short-cut key combo to that shortcut...minimize your browser and hit <CTR>-<SHIFT>-f and bam... forum is loading.
Alternatively, you could put the shortcut directly on your start menu even. <CTRL>-<ESC> (or windows key if it's on your keyboard) opens start menu, hit first letter of the shortcuts there and it jumps through them also.

Or (and this is just a thought), how about NOT requiring the use of the shiny new toy? Dual-post on PoL and the forums, or outline the update for a general idea in PoL while full details are posted here. All-in-all, it is rather inconvenient to minimize PoL, use my bookmark, scan for the update notes, double-check it is the real notes and not player responses, and finally read it. All just before I get sucked into reading the forums for 3 hours and end up not logging in FFXI at all.
