Is it possible to set the forum so that an embedded web link always opens in a new tab or window. At the moment if I just click a link in a message it takes me away from the forum. I know I can right click and then open in new window or tab but I feel this should be the default action. It is in most other forums I use.

Re: External web links
There's normally a setting in the browser that enables this too, but some don't like doing it as it allows websites to 'hide' the fact that a new window/tab has been opened (with or without your permission).

...... or depending on your browser, try right clicking on the link and you should get the options on opening it
