Clicking on links in this forum

Post by Alieberman »

When I click on links in this forum it doesn't open a new tab, it just replaces this tab.

Is that happening for everybody and is there a way to set up to open a new tab?

If you are on a Windows machine just right click on the link and click on "open in new tab".

No idea about Macs.

Yes, hold down Command on a Mac.

For Windows, hold down Control.

Press/hold down link until prompt options box opens.

BTW, download Mercury Browser. Great at stopping pop ups, tab surfing, etc.

Sorry for not googling "Why aren't new tabs opening when I open a link at prodigaleyelid.com"

I thought it was something specific to this forum because when I click on links at most other sites, new tabs just automatically open.

It's something in the code of the forum that can only be changed by the admin.

So, in other words, a legit question from Alieberman. Not a forum option setting. Good to know.
