Yeah.... That is because I upgraded the entire system, and basically redid everything.

Dont remember what I have to do to fix it.

he is not ignoring any of this. i am also waiting for him to fix something that has changed the way i read the forum (cannot open links in new tab without the originating page also opening the link), but i haven't bugged him about it for days and am patient enough to realize he is doing his best.
A similar problem has resurfaced (at least for me). Every link I click goes to the outside page and I lose the Giant page I'm on unless I hit the back button. It used to open a new window when you clicked a link. Using Safari 4.0.4 on a mac. Thanks.

So am I and I also double checked to ensure the preference is set for Open links in new window. Still using the same one to open the new page.

it does for me, too, using firefox. however, earlier today, i clicked on an external link elsewhere and it opened within the same tab - maybe there are different settings for different subforums.

This one does not open in a new window.

Ok... so links posted using the [ url ] tag will open in new windows, but just pasted URLs (no [ url ] tag) will not.

Personally, I think that is a software error.
But I also think software should work for people, not the other way around.

But yeah... dont know what to do about it.

It used to be if you didn't use the URL tag, it wouldn't make it a link, it just pasted as black text, so I agree it's a probably a software error.
