Problem opening links

Post by StevieboyTD »

Well not so much a problem, just an annoyance.

On other sites when i click a link in a thread it opens in a new tab, but here it opens in the current tab, it makes it tricky to open multiple links (say to wiring diagrams or similar)

Any chance this could be rectified? Or is it a feature of this forum software?

Cheers

few choices here...

right-click, open in new tab
middle-click
hold ctrl while clicking

:cheesy:

I can't stand sites that force a new tab/window to open

I find myself reading through a linked page then being confused when i can't find the 406oc tab at the top of my browser to carry on reading the thread i found the link in. Keep forgetting this place is set up wierd (avatars on the right, wtf! :shock: )
