Clicking links onto new tabs?

Hi - any chance you could maybe consider opening links on new tabs rather than same window? Most forums have it this way and it's a tad annoying when I click on a link and it opens on the same window and I lose the thread I'm on...

Thanks

No because if a user wants to view the link in the same tab they will no longer be able to do so. If you want to open a link in a new tab you can middle mouse click on the link or right click and open in new tab. More info here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/07 ... w-windows/

The "back" button always works for me, but I know what you're saying.

Actually Muscle the feature is already here....it will work only if the page URL...is placed between the icons when you press the URL button on the reply or post toolbar
Not everyone uses it....some just find it easier to drop the link and paste it...it'll still work...but like Shaun said..you will have to back page it to get here again
