open new tab when clicking link

Post by jee »

Hi,
Is it possible to change the way it works when you click on a link in a message?
When reading a thread, sometimes there are links which are interesting, but when you click it opens in the same tab. evrytime it is some work to get back to the original thread here on the site to continue reading.

Maybe to change the setting to open the link in a new tab?

(if this is discussed before and not accepted as a briliant idea, sorry :D)
Regards,

If you hover over the link and press right mouse button it gives you the option to open the link in a new tab.

That is the setup on Polish forum based on the same engine so it could be done for sure ;)

Hi Guys,

It would be nice for links within posts to open in a new tab, I agree. I will look into this after the soon coming major update!

For now, one handy tip I use all the time is if you click your scroll button instead of the left mouse button (most scroll wheels actually click too!) then it will open a link in a new tab!

Many thanks,
Matt

Thanks, there is of course no urgency with this :D
But the scroll button doesnt work on my computer, so now I will try to find another driver for it :D

ok, after some trail and error, downloading the software for the mouse (which didnt do much) I found that you should not click your scrollwheel, but press, hold and push to the right (that is on my computer) then it will open a new tab with the link.
Never new this trick so happy to learn soemthing new :D
