Clicking Links??

[Atheana]

Hey,

Every time I click on a link, it opens in the same window, so I have to remember to go back in my browser.

Is there a way to set this so that links clicked from the forums open in a new tab/window?

I don't believe there's any simple way to do this, and I'm strongly in favor of allowing the user to choose to open in a new window or tab themselves. I'd just open links in a new tab or window, should you like them that way. I'll go look at the settings to see if there's any way to make this individual user targetable.

I agree with Jason. From a usability standpoint I find it highly aggravating when all links to a site open in a new window. I have hot buttons set up to personally choose to open a link in a new tab, new window, or same tab. I think that the user should get to decide this.

If you're using Firefox, Firefox already has a function to open links in a few window by clicking on the link while you hold down Cntrl. I do that regularly so I can both keep place and open new threads in tabs.
