Which links should open a new tab / window? - Page 2

Some would argue that it is broken currently

But we'll let the poll do the talking.

leave it as is .

seems that poll is directing it , at least for now

perhaps as mr evil

notes it does not open a new window currently. that is a specific and really annoying html command, like the pop-ups and what else...

i didn't understand at first so i voted wrong, is there a way to change the vote?

The current functionality depends on which browser you use. In IE it opens a new window (that's more because IE is essentially a broken piece of junk that doesn't bother to abide by any reasonable standards), in any *real* browser it opens a new tab.

human.bin,
Let me know how you voted and how you wanted to vote and I will change it for you.

Well the votes spoke, 60/40 in favor of no change. Pretty close.

The votes rolled in very slowly I might add - 3 days up and only 90 or so votes. It will stay as it is, and perhaps develop the option to let a member set options for how they like it, later. Thanks for everyone's input.
