Click Link -> New Window

Whenever I click a link on here it opens it up in this window. I always have to Right click - Open in New Window. I hate that. I've been through my User CP and haven't found anything. Is it in there?

When I'm researching something I like to have a bunch of windows open so it is easier to find the source of the link, and maybe other links within that post, after traveling from link to link and page to page, sometimes it is very hard to find the original.

With IE 7, you can set it up to use Tabbed folders for new windows. The tabbed windows are accessed by clicking on the tab.

If your computer can run it, download IE 7. I have been using for a year now with no problems.

For IE 6, its been awhile since I used, do you have under "tools" an option to open links in a new window?

Your problem is not with FTE but with your browser.

Better yet download and use Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox is what IE tries to be, but misses the mark. Especially when it comes to tab browsing.

I have access to all of the above, but it doesn't happen on any of the other 20+ forums I'm on. Thats why I thought it had something to do with this place.

Humm....interesting. Don't know what to tell you Jack. I am on several forums also and they all seem to work fine for me. The only issue I have had with FTE is sometimes not being able to get on it at all. Happened to me three times this past week due to the database issue.

Found this in the User Feedback & Suggestion thread, hope maybe it helps, Clicking on links to open in a new window?

Jack - just follow the above instructions. It works. At least it does in Firefox. I very rarely use IE as the tab browsing doesn't work as well as in Firefox and there are a lot of other things that bug me about IE so I use Firefox exclusively.
