Links inside a post
Links inside a post open in the same window which I reckon sucks. Is this the BE website design or my settings. If its my settings some one fix it for me please, and if its the BE web design someone fix it please.
Cheers.

I clicked on the link and after reading it all closed it off. FFS then had to start all over again.

Re: Links inside a post
For a temporary solution (until this is resolved): hold down your shift key when you click on a link and this will force the opening of a new window.

Re: Links inside a post
I actually prefer it as my pop up blocker has to be set to temporarily allow pop ups everytime I want to look at a link. When finished I just click the back button and I go back to where I was.
