Clicking on links in posts

Postby Seedy on Sun Nov 02, 2008 11:34 am

One thing I noticed the new site does is if you click on a web link in someones post instead of opening a new tab you navigate to the link in your current window.
the AA site does this same thing and its really annoying because when you go to the link and check it out you can't just close the tab/window when you're done with it, you have to click the back button back to the TAC site.

I'll see if I can find a setting that allows for a new window to pop but I'm guessing its a modification of core code to do that... A work around is right clicking the link and choosing open in new tab/window.
