Admin.

Just a personal preference here.

When you click on a link in this forum it opens in the same window, taking you away from this site.

Is it possible to make links open into a new window? (like most other forums).

Most likely not without modifying the board. It appears to have been set up that way intentionally. But you can do what I do... Right-click on links and select "Open in a New Window" or whatever is similar to that in your browser.

I only like Spam if it is Deep Fried and served with Cheese.
But only once every six months or so.

Yes, I do that.  It's just that most boards open in a new window anyway, and this one always catches me out the first time I click on a link.

Also, opening in a new window is better for the forums as it doesn't evict the user.

Just click the mouse wheel on the link instead of a mouse button.  I think that works on Explorer, as well, I use Firefox myself.

...or tab mix plus. I duplicate tabs all the time with CTRL+ALT+T, even copies the text into the posting box I'm typing in right now
