It would make the site mush easier to use and navigate if links opened in a new tab or window. It is a major pain to have to go back to this page once you click a link especially when you forget it's the same tab you started from and you close it.

X2 on this one.....

right click, open in a new tab.

I've been meaning to do this just have to find the code to edit. I'm a huge "open in a new window" guy.

Doesn't a pop-up blocker not let them open? Doesn't matter to me. I am a "right click" guy anyway.

Depends on if you're a windoze guy or not

I use Google Chrome and it knows the difference between a clicked link and a popup ad.

I converted over to GC from Firefox a few months ago. I like it doing web optimization, when I'm looking at source code it'll actually show character errors and stuff. Pretty cool.

So, the open in a new tab [target=_"blank"] option isn't a pre-set. I'd have to edit the forum code.
Might do this one night with few people on. Since I tend to break things
