Links to open in a new tab

Post by JustinTime »

I don't know if it was discussed before or not but I think it would be nice if links will open in a new tab. It is rather annoying that you are being taken out of the forum every time you click on a link and that you have to go back a page to return. Especially if you want to keep the new location as a reference while you keep reading the forum.

You could always right click -> open in new tab?

that's what I do as well.. But I do agree with JustinTime.. Sometimes i forget to right click and load the page on the same tab, then close it and lose also the forum ;)

In Chrome you can use <ctrl><shift>T to reopen the last tab you closed.

And other boards too. It's just a setting that an admin can do. I guess what Rob is trying to say is 'I don't care'! Image

I never said I don't care :-)

Just have to find some time to fit in the update.

Funny... This time last year I had more time than sense! Now... 8month old in the house means no time! Figure Bertrand knows exactly what I mean :mrgreen:

I think, some links open on a new tab, but most don't..

You are correct, Joao. That's what it is. I was in the Sky9x Rotary Encoder Option thread and clicked on a link and it opened in a new tab and I though that Rob had just fixed it so I came back here to say thanks. Well...thanks anyway, Rob! :D
