Open in New Window
This site should open all links in a new window instead of the same one. It is such a pain to have to navigate back to the post you linked out of.
This is my only complaint about this site. If it did that, it would be perfect. Thank you.

That, and fix Statman's blog. 4 days till the 6 month anniversary.
The window thing is a good idea though.
Although I think you can just right click on the link and do the same thing.

Re: Open in New Window
Use Firefox and set your browser to open link in a new tab. Works great.

Since phpbb is still in beta GRB has a feature freeze.

I took a look at this last night. The solution wasn't obvious. Ugh.

If you have a click-able mouse wheel it will do it automatically.TabascoElvis wrote:Use Firefox and set your browser to open link in a new tab. Works great.

Re: Open in New Window
If you hold "CTRL" while clicking a link it opens in a new tab. That certainly beats right clicking. It would be a stupid decision (for any webmaster) to change links to open in a new window (unless it's an off-site link). It's just bad design.Jocephus wrote:i use ff and have tabbed...but i still wish it would open in new windows automaticallyKyle wrote:http://www.firefox.comTimMcCarver15 wrote:This site should open all links in a new window instead of the same one.

In addition, if you click the link with the scroll wheel, it opens in a new tab.
