When I click on a link embedded in a post Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 02/09/2010 02:14:35 PM
<a href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/man-already-knows-everything-he-needs-to-know-abou,17990/">The Onion</a> is sometimes too close to reality for comfort.


...I am directed to that link in the current browser window (as opposed to when I click a link below a post, where it opens in a different window).

Yes, I know I can right click and select "open in a new window". But I'm wondering if this is intentional, or if there is a setting or something for this? It seems to me that the intent of allowing certain peeps to embed links is not to drive traffic away from the site Should I post it as a suggestion?

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Middle click (scroll wheel, that is) should open it in a new window/tab *NM* - 02/09/2010 02:52:07 PM 208 Views
